Clean install problems

I am upgrading 3 desks with a clean install. Following the manual, holding down pig key and starting the desk, However the desk is skipping over the Boot menu straight into start up. the only way is to F8 on a keyboard and select CDROM but this also proving problematic. The current file has been burnt using Nero following the prompts. I am assuming now the downloading of the ISO file could be the problem??? any thoughts or tips

  • In the Roadhog Quick Guide located here, there is a section of the manual titled "SYSTEM RESTORE" on page 7. It shows how to do it from USB, CD, etc.

    In the Wholehog 3 manual located here, on page 361, there is a section of the manual titled "Restoring the Roadhog System Files."

    To restore the system files:

    1. Connect the USB keyboard to the console.
    2. Connect the USB (or CD) drive containing the System restore image.
    3. As the system boots up, press F8 on the keyboard to display the boot device selection screen.
    4. Select the USB device (or CD) that contains the system restore image from the list.
    5. A recovery screen will prompt you to select a Full or Partial recovery. A full recovery will erase the show files on the hard drive and a partial will not.
    » Important The Full recovery process will remove all data from the Road Hog hard drive, including show files. The Partial recovery process will reinstall the XPe image and the Wholehog software without erasing your show files.
    6. The console will immediately begin drive restoration. The process may take anywhere from 10-15 minutes, and will automatically reboot your console when finished. Do not touch any keys or attempt to interrupt the restore process. If the process is interrupted for any reason, simply reboot and return to Step 1 to ensure the Road Hog console is completely restored.
    7. Once the system is restored and rebooted, remove the System Restore USB drive and store in a safe place.

    On top of that, as I mentioned above, try reburning the ISO at HALF-SPEED of what your drive can burn at. I've had some issues with some CD's that when the file is burned at full speed, it didn't get all of the data. Same download burned at half-speed, no issues. I have had this happen on multiple occasions. SInce then I now always burn ISO discs at half-speed. This was suggested by the HES Tech Support guys as well.

    Hope that helps.
