After creating the startup disk, some of the files must be deleted because of the size of the update.
To do this, all files (hidden system files, etc.) must be visible on the diskette.
In Windows Explorer, go to the "Tools" menu, select "Folder options" and open the "View" tab. Then deselect
the option "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" (enabled by default) and enable the option
"Show hidden files and folders".
