Recovery disk

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a cf-19 from a guy. He didn't give me anything with it except the AC adapter. At some point the hard drive was cleared and xp pro was installed. It does not have xp tablet edition on it, and therefore it doesn't do lots of the things it should.

I can't find anywhere to download xp tablet and aparently it was never put on disk and sold. What I really need is a recovery disk.

Does anybody have one? I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for one or a copy. I've talked to Panasonic. They will not give or sell me a recovery disk. They did say I could send the unit to them, and they would reinstall everything for $150.

Anyone?

Thanks.

 

If that machine has an XP Pro sticker on the bottom of it then you will not be able to do what a tablet can do because it doesn't have the digitizer screen. Their are 2 different kinds of CF-19's, digitizer & touchscreen. The touchscreen model can work with anything touching the screen (your finger for example), whereas the digitizer only works with the special pen, and supports things like using the back of the pen as an eraser and being able to right click via the pen instead of having to hold down the control button

 

Hi, I am quite new on this forum too but am I right in thinking that Windows Vista (or some of them) are compatible with tablet PC's. I say this cos I had a HP TX2130 for a while that Vista Home Premium and that was a tablet.

I beleive that panasonic put Vista on some of their machines so their drivers should be vista compliant.

If you can get a Vista Disk to try it, and then download all the drivers from sites already listed on this forum then you may be in luck, even if its a temporary fix till you can get an XP recovery disk.

They do come up on ebay now and again, just make sure you get one for Tablet as some cf-19's (like mine) are not tablet.

Re-read post #2 regaurding the difference between the 2 cf-19's. You are right however regaurding Vista... I don't know which version of vista it is, but one of them does do tablet functions

 

I have the identical cf-19.
Vista business ,with the panasonic vista drivers will enable full tablet functions.
Sorry, I have a lot of cf restore disks , but the disks that I have for the cf-19 are touchscreen, not digitizer, and will not load in your cf-19.
