Restoring the Flash Image

System Requirements

To create a recovery device for the purpose of reflashing or restoring the software image on the ROM,
you will need the following:
●
A personal computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
●
One or more HP Compaq t5000 Series Thin Clients
●
CD-R or CD-RW drive (if using the ISO Image option)
●
512-MB USB flash device for Windows XP Embedded/Windows Embedded Standard (WES) (if
using the USB format) or Linux.
This restore method will not work with all USB flash devices. USB flash devices with multiple
partitions generally do not support this restore method. The range of USB flash devices available
on the market is constantly changing. Not all USB flash devices have been tested with the HP
Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool.
●
USB CD-ROM drive for thin client (if using the ISO Image option)
Before using the utility, you must download the appropriate image from
thinclientsoftware.

Getting Started

There are three deployment options supported by this utility. You can choose to do one or more of the
following using your personal computer:
● Generate an ISO image to use with CD creation software to create a bootable CD for deployment
using a USB CD-ROM drive.
●
Create a bootable flash image on a USB flash device.
● Unbundle the image to a directory for use in a custom deployment scenario or PXE image.
Download and run the Package-for-the-Web deliverable (an .exe file) that contains the original factory
image for the thin client. The HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool (CRStart.exe) runs automatically.
