TI‐nspire CAS Clickpad 

Operating System not found. Install OS now. 
Unit to Unit Transfer 
 
 
A TI‐nspire CAS Clickpad calculator that returns this message at 
start up has either a corrupted operating system or no 
operating system installed.  
 
In most cases the documents folder is unaffected and the 
device will still be recognised by TI‐nspire Computer Link or the 
TI‐nspire computer software.  If you wish to back up your 
calculator files this should be done before following these 
steps. Connect the device to the computer using the 
supplied USB cable. Copy the entire documents folder to 
the computer. More detailed instructions on file transfer 
can be found in the FAQ section of the TI website. 
 
Step 1 – Maintenance Menu 
The maintenance menu provides an inbuilt method of 
deleting remnants of an incomplete or corrupted 
operating system. To access the maintenance menu the 
calculator must be turned off completely. This can be 
done by removing batteries or by pressing the reset 
button.  
 
  Remove batteries 
 Remove two batteries, one from each of the 
two slots. 
 Wait for 5 seconds before reinserting the 
batteries.  
 Hold: [Home] + [Enter] + [P] while turning the 
calculator on. Keep holding the three keys 
until the maintenance menu is displayed. 
 
 
Step 2 – Maintenance Options 
 Select option four:

Step 3 – Device will be reformatted 
 Confirm the reformatting option by 
pressing [1].  
 

 
Step 4 – Deleting Operating System 
 No action is required for this step. The 
progress bar moves repeatedly across 
the screen as the operating system is 
cleared. 
 

 
 
Step 5 – Restarting 
 Once the operating system has been 
completely erased, the calculator 
prompts to restart, press any key. 
 

 
 
Step 6 – Operating System not found 
 The old or corrupted operating system 
has now been completely removed. The 
calculator is now ready to accept the 
new operating system. Connect the 
calculator to a computer with either the 
TI‐nspire CAS or TI‐nspire Computer Link 
software.

 Connect another handheld to your 
unit. From the home screen navigate 
to: My Documents.  
 Press [menu] and select: 
Send OS 
 

 
The sending calculator now pushes the operating system into the receiving calculator. DO NOT 
disconnect the calculators during this process.  
Once the operating system has been sent, a message appears on the sending calculator when it is 
safe to disconnect. The receiving calculator will ‘extract’ the operating system and install.  
 
During the installation of the software it will 
prompt for a variety of settings.  
Make the appropriate selections from each dialog 
box and the installation is complete.
