I was recently recruited to help administer a POS system that uses a mix of 2 terminals running WinXP Embedded, 1 terminal running Win9x, with a server running WinXP Home. These are all configured for "simple sharing" and in the same workgroup. All are configured for auto-login. These...
I agree with DTSMAN, the install CD on a clean install of Windows is the best way.
However...
You can use Acronis True Image to clone any HDD. Once you have the image you can restore it to a new disk, and should be able to switch to the new disk on the old server. I've had good luck with this...
I'd check to be sure all fans are turning and the DC power connector that leads from the power supply up to the top half is firmly connected. You might want to reseat it if there is any question.
By power supply, I mean the part of the terminal that the power cord connects to.
Given the...
Thanks for the tip on sharing and a reminder about the password!
I enabled "Simple Sharing" on the WinXP terminal (TERM2), and enabled read and write access, so it should be OK. The Win9x boxes are both set to auto-login as admin with the user and password provided in the registry.
But it's...
Thanks, debout from the last couple restarts on the Win95 box is below.
TERM2 is the master, it is one of the new XP boxes.
After studying this debout, I checked to see if I could mount \\TERM2\BOOTDRV. It tries to, but prompts for a password. Nothing I have in my list of passwords provided...

For example:
10.10.10.1 ALOHABOH #PRE
10.10.10.2 TERM1
and so on?
Thanks!
Thanks for the advice... finally got over there to check!
The BOH computer says there are 4 sessions accepted. It makes sense, local user plus 3 terminals. EDC is via modem from the BOH computer.
To redeem the dealer a bit, he did get us a replacement terminal (for the DOA one) and sent the...
I help support a small mom-and-pop operation with 3 terminals and a BOH server running Aloha 5.2. Because of some terminal hardware failures, the owner opted to purchase 2 refurb Radiant P1220's plus install from the local dealer. Install went OK, except the remaining terminal is Win95 (and...
We're running Aloha 5.2 in a 3 terminal, single location setup. The Pinnacle hardware is getting creaky after 5 years. Already had 1 HDD and a power supply fail. Didn't see anything in the FAQ, so here goes.
A couple questions:
1) Can we use any old POS terminal with Aloha? Is it just a...
