NETBOOK PRO Upgrade: 1000985-404 International

Upgrade Procedure:

1) Unzip all files with a .img extension to a CF, SD or MMC memory card. The card may be FAT-12 or FAT-16, but not FAT-32 unless the version being upgraded is -400 (BooSt C095l) or later.

2) Remove any Total Recall profiles from the card, or change their .pfl extensions; unless you have created a profile you wish to restore.

3) Remove or rename any file on the card named nbkproOS.img.

4) Disconnect any cables between Netbook and PC, and open the case.

5) Remove all CF, SD/MMC and PC cards.

6) Ensure that the main battery is well charged, or connect the external power.

7) (Optional) By connecting a serial ActiveSync cable between the serial port, and a PC running terminal emulation at 115.2 Kbps (N-8-1), log the upgrade progress and results.

8) Get the unit into the BooSt menu as follows:
Reset it with a paper clip or similar blunt tool. (The reset switch is beneath the small hole to the right of the right hand shift key.)
When the reset occurs, the screen will go off.
Turn on the unit while holding down “ctrl D”

9) Wait for the Netbook to boot into the BooSt menu.

10) Insert the memory card.
The script should run, load the necessary files, run a flash memory ecc check and cold start WinCE. Do not disturb the Netbook while this is taking place. It should restart automatically and boot into CE.

11) In the Control Panel - System - Properties tab, check that the reported date codes for WinCE, BooSt and PCon match those in the table above.

This completes the upgrade.

Note that except for Total Recall profiles (.pfl) it is not good practice to leave files on a storage card
in the Netbook Pro, that might be automatically loaded should the unit cold start. This includes files named
nbkproOS.img
nbkproBT.img, and
nbkpro.img
