Technical Notes
This chapter provides information about the configuration of
Neoware Windows XPe thin clients.
File Storage Configuration
Flash Disk
Neoware Windows XPe thin clients contain a Flash memory-based
file system where the operating system and local application files
are stored. The Flash disk is divided into two partitions. These
partitions are drive C:, where the main operating system software is
stored, and drive D:, where files necessary to update your thin
client are stored. The D: drive always contains the boot files ntldir,
boot.ini and ntdetect.com. The unit will not boot without these
files, so do NOT delete them. The D: drive is also used to store
temporary files during a system update.
Note:
It is recommended that you save files on a server and not on
the flash storage in your thin client. If the unused space on drive C:
is reduced to 3 megabytes or less the thin client may become unsta-
ble. If the unused space on drive C: is reduced to 2MB or less the
thin client may become inoperable. In addition, do not delete,
remove, or alter any files in drive D: or your thin client may not
perform properly.

Neoware Windows XPe thin clients use a virtual disk which uti-

Z: and is used to store temporary data. However, this storage is vol-
