Step 2: Booting the eo TufTab a7230X to the Recovery
Application on the System Restore Disc:
1. Power up your eo TufTab a7230X Ultra-Mobile PC.
2. If your drive has an existing partition (overwriting existing
OS): When prompted, press any key to boot to the recovery

OS): It will automatically load the recovery application.
3. Select the “Tools” Button and then the “Reset Partition”
Button to continue.

to continue. (We recommend NTFS unless you require Windows
95/98/ME compatibility.)
6. Select “OK” to proceed with partition creation.
7. Select “OK” if you understand that this process will
PERMANENTLY DELETE ALL OF THE EXISTING DATA ON
THE HARD DRIVE
.
8. Select “OK” once the drive has been partitioned and then
“Cancel” to return to the main menu.
9. Select the “Restore Now!” Button.
10. Select “OK” to prepare the partition you created above, and
then select “OK” again to restore the operating system.
