Reload Windows 7 on Dell Latitude ST Tablet


This is a Video on how to Re-Install Windows 7 Professional on the Dell Latitude ST Tablet. This version of Windows 7 is the 32 BIT OS and is the only one compatible with the Tablet.

Tools You'll Need:
-Bootable Windows 7 USB (video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGtGMZHAbt8 )
-Multi USB hub with Power supply
-2.0 USB Mouse
-2.0 USB Keyboard

Step 1:  Make a Bootable Windows 7 USB with the video to guide you above on another computer. Make sure you follow the video correctly.

Step 2:  Take the Latitude ST and leave it off for now, Take a 2.0 USB Cable and plug it into the tablet along with the USB multi Hub. Plug in the power supply for the Multi Hub as well.

Step 3:  Take the 2.0 USB Mouse and the 2.0 USB Keyboard and plug them into the USB Multi Hub.

Step 4:  Plug in your Bootable Windows 7 Professional 32 BIT USB stick to the Multi Hub and turn on the tablet.

Step 5:  Tap F12 key on your keyboard on boot to access the Boot menu on the Latitude ST and select your 2.0 USB Device and You should see Windows Loading Files.

Step 6:  Once the installer for windows comes up Click Install Now and then select agree to the license and terms and then click Custom/Advanced install.

Step 7:  Delete all the partitions you see, including the Recover because we will just make a new one, until you have 1 Partition of Unallocated space. Select that Partition and click New and use the whole thing and Windows will make a new 100MB Recover Partition.

Step 8: Allow windows to Install and once the Re-boot allow it to boot Windows 7 and run the rest of the installation.
