Make a XP Recovery USB flash drive

#1 Post by i58sr »

Hey Toughbook addicts

Make a XP Recovery USB flash drive for a CF-29MK5, CF-30MK1, MK2 AND MK3. First
you need at least a 4 gig usb flash drive with dos startup files...then copy and Paste
the files for your Toughbook model.

Set the Toughbook to boot to usb flash drive and follow the prompts. This will reinstall Windows XP to the whole HDD to factory default. Thanks Rob for the bandwidth.

Thank you for sharing this! This is great! I have PLEANTY of room (for now lol) for these images, so depending on the input from everyone else on here (and there are a LOT of you on here), we may go this route for everything? As of now I have 127GB left on the server (out of 279 total gigs), so we're good to go.

I MIGHT upgrade the internet line to double the speed on the upload... I'll have to analyze the logs from the last 2 years and see what that entails. It'll be $85/month more for the internet if I do that, and at this point, don't have any idea where that money will come from. I''m just barely breaking even right now between the electric bill and internet bill + the cost of maintenance on the generators and networking equipment it's self.

For now, we are more than good though :)

Thanks again!

Could you also host the recovery CDs for the CF-29 mk2/mk3 ?
