Loading an Operating System on the Marathon
If it becomes necessary to reload the Marathon operating system there are two options available.
1. A recovery DVD from Honeywell. The recovery DVD is customized for the type of hard drive and operating system
installed in the Marathon.
2. A user provided operating system. The user must:
l Provide their own installation source of a supported operating system (such as Windows XP).
l Have a valid activation key for that operating system.
Contact Technical Assistance for information on the Marathon Recovery DVD and the Drivers CD ROM.
The Marathon Drivers CD-ROM
Part Number - MARATHONA475DRIVERS
Contact Technical Support to get the latest updates.
The Marathon Drivers CD-ROM contains files that may be necessary for configuration of the Marathon computer. It is
recommended that the device drivers CD be available during Microsoft Windows installation and configuration. Since the
Marathon does not have a CD-ROM drive, the device drivers can be copied to a USB jump drive or accessed via a USB CD
drive. The device drivers can also be copied to a location on the network if a network connection is used to install the Windows
OS.
After Microsoft Windows is installed, device drivers contained on the CD can be used to update default Windows device
drivers, if necessary.
For more information on installing or updating Microsoft Windows device drivers, refer to Help and Support on the Windows
Start menu or commercially available Windows documentation.
