8: USB Boot Client
8.0 USB Boot Client Introduction
A USB (iSCSI) Boot Client (bootable USB flash drive) is available. The bootable flash drive allows the
cloning of a Master drive from a computer on the same network without booting the native Operating
System on the computer and can be imaged without having to remove the drive from the computer. It
also allows the cloning from a drive connected the SuperSonix-NG (or a SuperSonix-NG image file) to
another computer (as a Target) without having to disconnect or remove the drive.
8.1 Requirements
•
Your own 1 GB or larger capacity USB flash drive
•
A computer with Microsoft Windows
8.2 Creating the USB Boot Client
Here are the steps to create the USB Boot Client with the software necessary to be bootable, and when
used to boot a computer, will allow the SuperSonix-NG
to use the computer’s drive as a
Master or Target
drive.
For steps 1 and 2 of this section, please use Chrome or Firefox to download
the files. Internet Explorer and Edge do download *.img files properly.
1.
Using an Internet browser, browse to
http://updates.logicube.com/iscsi/
. Look for the following
two files:
•
Win32DiskImager-1.0.0-binary.zip
•
The USB Boot Client image file
–
A file with a *.img file extension
2.
Download both files. If the image file will not download, right-
click on the link and use the ‘Save
Target As…’ or ‘Save Link As’ option and make sure it is saved with the *.img file extension.
3.
Extract all the files within the win32diskimager-v1.0.0-binary.zip file to a folder or directory of your
choosing.
4.
Connect your USB flash drive that is at least 1 GB in capacity to the computer where the software
was downloaded. It is recommended that all other USB drives are unplugged.
The contents of the USB flash drive will be overwritten. If there is data
on the USB flash drive that should not be deleted, back up the contents
of the USB flash drive or use another USB flash drive for this procedure.
