rebuild a new machine from scratch.... basic help needed...

[Guest]

Hi,

I have been given the task of cleaning up and rebuilding 5 of our test IBM
POS terminals... I have the 5 product keys required, but I can't find the
org disk to do the install from...

I am new to the ebedded world, and those that did this before have moved on,
so not sure what the deal is with these devices. They have installed on them
windows embedded for point of service version 1.0

I assume that if i can get the disk from somewhere (???) I can just
reinstall and end up with a clean machine that we can then work with again?

Do I need to go back to the POS manufacturer IBM to get the media disks? I
have been to the microsoft embedded web site, but they only have the
downloads for newer versions, and I don't want to break the licenses on
these machines.

Thanks

If the IBM machines came with WEPOS installed, then you should go back to
IBM for backup/recovery media. If your company installed WEPOS, then you
might be able to download the release media per the license agreement.

Hi,

Where would I download the release media from ?

Looking at the microsoft embedded site, I can only see the lastest version
POS ready.

I need the older 1.1 version

Thanks

If your company signed a license agreement than you should have access to
the ECE website (private), where you can order the media.
