Getting started There are three deployment options supported by the imaging tool. You can choose to do one or more of the following: • Generate an ISO image to use with CD creation software to create a bootable CD for deployment using a USB CD ROM drive. • Create a bootable flash image on a USB flash device (such as a drive key). • Unpack the components of the image to a directory for use in a custom deployment scenario or PXE image. Download and run the Package-for-the-Web deliverable (an .exe file) that contains the original factory image for the thin client. The HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool (CRStart.exe) runs automatically and displays the following dialog: Choose one of the following deployment options. Each option is described in the following sections. • ISO Image • USB Format • Deployment The restore process reformats the thin client flash drive and erases all drive data before it copies the system image to the flash drive. To prevent loss of data, save any user-created data from the flash drive. During the first restart of the thin client following the restore process, it may take approximately 5-10 minutes to unbundle the software before the Windows Desktop displays. 3
