Creating a Bootable Device
Supported USB Flash Media Device
Supported devices, such as an HP Drive Key or a DiskOnKey, have a
preinstalled image to simplify the process of making them bootable.
If the USB flash media device being used does not have this image,
use the procedure later in this section (see “Unsupported USB Flash
Media Device” on page 16).
Ä
CAUTION: Not all computers can be booted from a USB flash media
device. If the default boot order in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists
the USB device before the hard drive, the computer can be booted from a
USB flash media device. Otherwise, a bootable diskette must be used.
To create a bootable USB flash media device, you must have:
■ One of the following systems:
❏ HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7100 series
❏ HP Compaq Business Desktop dx6100 series
❏ HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 Series - Ultra-Slim
Desktop, Small Form Factor, or Convertible Minitower
❏ Compaq Evo D510 Ultra-Slim Desktop
❏ Compaq Evo D510 Convertible Minitower/Small Form
Factor
Depending on the individual BIOS, future systems may also
support booting to a USB flash media device.
Ä
CAUTION: If you are using a computer other than one named above,
make sure the default boot order in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists
the USB device before the hard drive.
■ One of the following storage modules:
❏ 16MB HP Drive Key
❏ 32MB HP Drive Key
❏ 32MB DiskOnKey
❏ 64MB HP Drive Key
