    Default Reinstall Tablet XP OS w/o external optical drive

    Hi. I'm thinking of reinstalling the XP Tablet OS on my TC4200, but I don't own an external optical drive. I thought about using my desktop DVD drive through the network, but realized that the moment the OS begins to install, I will lose the network drive and probably will not be able to continue with the installation. Is there a way to reinstall the XP Tablet OS without an external optical drive?

    I don't think it is possible; however, go to Wal-Mart get an external drive reinstall it and then return the drive the next day. It is well within their return policy so you are not breaking any rules. Good Luck.

    You can buy a USB cradle on ebay, that may fit your DVD drive.
