8. Restart the computer when the configuration is complete.
CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system
corruption may result if source and target computers are not the same
model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from a D510
Ultra-slim Desktop to a D510 e-pc.
This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette
or USB flash media device, but copying the configuration to target
computers is significantly faster.
A bootable diskette cannot be created in Windows 2000. A bootable
diskette is required for this procedure or to create a bootable USB
flash media device. If Windows 9x or Windows XP is not available to
use to create a bootable diskette, use the method for copying to a
single computer instead (see
page 10
).
1. Create a bootable diskette or USB flash media device. See
"Bootable Diskette" on page
Device" on page 13
on page 16.
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.
