Error and error cause
Graphical boot screen of Windows XP Embedded,
a flashing light bar indicates that loading is in
progress.
The background image for the instrument is then
loaded.
The graphical boot screen reappears with the
message:
Windows XP: Windows is starting up ....
If the instrument has started correctly so far,
there is most probably no fault in the computer.
If a booting problem occurs at this point, it is
probably caused by defective installation of the
instrument firmware. In this case, an attempt
must be made to correct the error by
reinstalling the instrument firmware (see
chapter 4, section “Firmware Update”).
If the operating system on the hard disk has
been destroyed and cannot be loaded
correctly, Windows XP reacts by displaying a
“bluescreen”. This bluescreen contains all
essential information on the internal states of
the computer which are displayed as follows
(example of screen):
Windows XP Embedded must then be reinstalled
using the Recovery boot option (see above).
When the instrument is restarted with the restored
partition, the instrument firmware must be
reinstalled (see chapter 4, section “Firmware
Update”).
Note: Only partition C: is overwritten. Any data on
partition D: is retained.
