Start Windows Normally
After 30 seconds "Start Windows Normally" will be selected by default and your
console should boot normally. You can also hit <enter> on your keyboard to skip
the 30 second wait.
If the Windows operating system has been corrupted to a point where it cannot
be rectified using any of the above suggestions, the complete Windows HDD
image can be downloaded and re-installed on the console. The files are available
on the Smart AV dealer downloads webpage, including a detailed procedure.
There are 2 files, one for Windows XP Home (700MB) and one for Windows
Embedded Standard (500MB). The process involves downloading an image file,
installing the image onto a USB flash disk and then booting the console from this
USB disk and restoring the original image to the console. For an XP Home
image, once restored the original Windows Product Key will need to be re-
entered so that Windows can be activated again. The whole process (excluding
download time) is likely to take about 1 hour. Once complete you console will
be restored to the way it left the factory, meaning you will need to re-install any
new software versions and re-configure the console for your DAW.
WARNING: You must download the correct operating system
image for the console you are trying to restore (Windows
Embedded Standard or Windows XP Home). Installing the
incorrect image could put your console in breach of Microsoft
copyright laws and render your console un-useable at some point
in the future.
WARNING: If you are running Windows XP Home you must
follow the steps to enter the Windows Product Key specific to your
console. Failure to do so could put your console in breach of
Microsoft copyright laws and render your console un-useable at
some point in the future.
