Procedure
Step 1
Connect the USB drive to your local machine and format it with the FAT32 file system.
Step 2
Copy the compressed boot file to the USB drive.
Step 3
Verify that the copy operation is successful. To verify, compare the file size at source and destination. Also,
verify the MD5 checksum value.
Step 4
Extract the content of the compressed boot file by unzipping it in the USB drive. This makes the USB drive
a bootable drive.
The content of the zipped file ("EFI" and "boot" directories) must be extracted directly in the root
folder of the USB drive. If the unzipping application places the extracted files in a new folder, move
the "EFI" and "boot" directories to the root folder of the USB drive.
