NETBOOK PRO Upgrade: -404 International
Nov 29 2005


This zipfile contains files required to upgrade WinCE, PCon and BooSt images in the Netbook Pro.
The BooSt and PCon files are compatible with version D boards.   


Please read the following cautions before upgrading any Netbook Pro:

1) Upgrading Netbook Pro will require re-installation of all applications presently on the unit. Total Recall
   may be used to do this (see 5).

2) All settings will have to be reconfigured.

3) The main battery will require recalibration.

4) Flash Disk Contents will be preserved over an upgrade, but it is still recommended that the
   Flash Disk contents are backed up before proceeding. 

5) Profiles created by Total Recall before upgrade, by a version -402 or earlier, will not be restorable 
   after upgrade. Total Recall will attempt to restore Profiles created after -402, but there is some risk
   that they will not restore correctly.    

6) If you are using synchronized folders through ActiveSync, synchronize before upgrade.
   ActiveSync partnerships will be removed from the Netbook by the upgrade. Delete such partnerships 
   also from the Desktop.

7) OnSchedule Sync partnerships with PocketOnSchedule will still exist, if the device name matches, 
   but they will have to be reset.  (In OnScheduleSync, select Folders, options, reset.) 
   Synchronize databases before upgrading to avoid data loss.

8) If the unit to be upgraded is earlier than -310, BOOST MUST BE UPGRADED FIRST.
   The upgrade script included ensures that BooSt will be upgraded first, but only if the BooSt image
   is on the memory card. Please be sure to unzip all files to the memory card as instructed.

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
