Step 2: Partitioning the Hard Drive (required for a new Hard Drive only)
If you are simply attempting to restore your eo TufTab using the hard drive that came with your
system, you can skip this step and proceed to Step 3.
You will need to use the software that came with your new hard drive—or another third
party program of your choosing that is designed to partition hard drives—in order to
create a primary system partition to house the restored OS.
NOTE: At a minimum, any bootable disc containing Microsoft’s “FDISK.EXE” utility should be
sufficient. If you attempt to start the restore utility before successfully partitioning the drive, the
Windows installer will crash with a B.S.O.D. displaying a “STOP: 0x07” error.

What To Do After Successfully Restoring Your System:
After your system successfully boots to your newly restored operating system, you will have
to copy back any of your data that you backed up before attempting the restore procedure.
You will also have to reinstall any applications you had installed yourself after receiving your
eo TufTab a7230X Ultra-Mobile PC. Before you begin either of these tasks, we suggest going to
“Windows Update” and installing any updates it finds that are labeled “Critical” or “Important”.
