Chapter 2: Getting Started
Performing A Soft Reset
If this does not work, or your NETBOOK PRO appears to have ‘locked up’, you can
perform a ‘soft reset’. This should restart your NETBOOK PRO while preserving
most of your information. After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost.
Files in internal flash storage are preserved.
It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the NETBOOK PRO do not appear to
respond, or if the NETBOOK PRO appears to switch on and you are sure that the
batteries are good, but the screen is otherwise blank.
It is possible, though unlikely, that performing a soft reset after a program failure
would cause the NETBOOK PRO to lose the information in its internal flash stor-
age; it could even prevent the reset from working at all. If this happens, you will
have to perform a ‘hard reset’. This will erase all data in internal storage.
Important: A hard reset resets the NETBOOK PRO completely. All running
programs, unsaved information, or programs installed to the
RAM disk will be lost.
Anything saved to non-volatile (flash disk) storage will be pre-
served. Any registry settings that have been written to non-volatile
storage will be preserved.
2.9.1 Performing A Soft Reset
To perform a soft reset:
1. Do one of the following:
• Execute the ‘warmboot.exe’ program found in the Windows folder.
• Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys for three seconds.
