This paste has a previous version, view the difference. Text below is selected. Please press Ctrl+C to copy to your clipboard. (⌘+C on Mac)
  1. Basic User Instructions (Boot from USB drive instructions below)
  2.  
  3. 1. Use Winrar or 7-ZIP to extract the files. http://www.7-zip.org/
  4. 2. Choose the correct image file to use. x86 = 32bit, and x64 = 64bit
  5. 2. Use a program like nero, or the free imgburn program to burn the extracted .iso file. http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
  6. 3. In the target computers bios change boot order so that CD/DVD drive is first on the list.
  7. 4. Boot from disc.
  8.  
  9. All x86 versions will boot on any x86 computer (e.g. ERD5 will boot on an x86 vista computer), but certain features like OS recovery will not work unless you boot the version made for your OS.
  10.  
  11. Everything else is self explanatory.
  12.  
  13. ______________________________________________________
  14.  
  15. Advanced User Instructions
  16.  
  17. ERD60 for vista and Windows 7 are USB drive bootable by following these instructions
  18.  
  19. 1. Run command prompt with admin privileges
  20. 2. Type in "diskpart"
  21. 3. Type in "list disk" to find diskpart's designation for your USB drive
  22. 4. Assuming your USB drive is listed as disk 1 type:
  23.  
  24.    a. select disk 1
  25.    b. clean
  26.    c. create partition primary
  27.    d. select partition 1
  28.    e. active
  29.    f. format fs=fat32 quick
  30.    g. assign
  31.    h. exit
  32.  
  33. *do not close the elevated command prompt
  34.  
  35. *it is usually ok to create a NTFS partition on the flash drive, but this sometimes causes problems on initial boot. I only recommend doing this for flash memory larger than 4gb, and when they are going to be used with a newer computer.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. 5. We now need to make the flash drive bootable.
  39.  
  40.    a.Insert or mount your windows Vista or 7 DVD
  41.    b.Go to the elevated command prompt and change the directory to your Windows DVD by typing the following commands. (Substitute "d" for your DVD drive letter)
  42.  
  43.       1. d:
  44.       2. cd d:\boot
  45.  
  46.    c. We are now going to use a tool called bootsect located on the windows DVD. Assuming your USB drive is located at E: enter the following command
  47.  
  48.       3. bootsect /nt60 E:
  49.  
  50.  
  51. 6. Now we need to coppy all of the Windows files to the USB drive. Assuming you have the DVD mounted to D: and the USB drive located at E: then type this into the admin elevated command prompt:
  52.  
  53. xcopy D:\*.* /s/e E:\
  54.  
  55. 7. In the bios change the boot order to allow the computer to boot from the flash drive.
  56.  
  57. That's it.
  58. ERD5 for XP can also be booted via flash drive by using grub4dos and some other tools, but I am not going to cover this. https://gna.org/projects/grub4dos/
