Recovery
This section describes the recovery capabilities of both Windows Embedded
CR 6.0 R3 and the supported WIN32 operating systems on the Workstation 5
and 5A.
Recovery Button
One Button Recovery describes a process where the operating system image
and platform files can be restored by pressing the Recovery Button shown in
Figure 1-2 at specific times. Depending on the operating system, this can take
two forms.
Windows CE Factory Restore
For Windows Embedded CE 6.0 using the One Button Recovery feature
initiates Windows CE Factory Restore on the USB Hard Drive. When
using the Recovery Button located on the workstation a keyboard is not
required. Future versions of the BIOS may require a password to initiate a
Factory Restore.
WINCE Factory Restore is a Firmbase application that copies the WINCE
image and platform files from a hidden recovery partition to the boot
partition and \DOC partitions respectively. See Chapter 3 for a more
detailed explanation.
After the files have been restored, the Wipe CF Utility is used to format the
CF Card and restart the workstation.

Windows CE Factory Restore procedures can be found in Chapter 4.
Windows POSReady 2009
Recovery of WIN32 operating systems such as POSReady 2009 is
accomplished with the optional POSReady 2009 Recovery CF. The
Recovery CF is supplied with a current factory image, but a customer
specific image can be substituted.
Like WINCE Factory Restore, using the Recovery Button automates
recovery process without using a Keyboard. However, new BIOS Versions
may require a password to start the Recovery CF.
The BIOS detects the recovery button activation and starts the WS5A from
the Recovery CF, which contains a pre-boot environment and start-up
scripts that determines the primary boot device (USB Hard Drive or
optional SATA Disk Drive), starts Ghost and transfers the image.
When the image transfer is complete, the workstation automatically restarts
and restores the boot order to the original configuration.
