USB CPDC installer 7.6

How to manually rebuild a CS 1000 Linux Base system Installer USB without the .bat file.

1. Unzip cs1000-linuxbase-7.65.16.00_cf.zip
2. Mount the USB drive
3. Open cmd with Admin privileges (press win key → type ‘cmd’ → right click the ‘Command Prompt’ shortcut → select ‘Run as administrator’)
4. At the command prompt:
   1. C:\WINDOWS\system32> diskpart
   2. DISKPART > list disk
   3. DISKPART > select disk # '#' is the USB disk number found above *
   4. DISKPART > clean erase disk
   5. DISKPART > create partition primary
   6. DISKPART > list volume
   7. DISKPART > select partition 1 There should only be one partition.
   8. DISKPART > active make partition bootable
   9. DISKPART > format fs=fat32 label=”CS1000BOOT”
   10. DISKPART > assign letter=x assign 'x' as the drive letter for the USB drive.
   11. DISKPART > list volume verify drive letter, label and file system. Look for the volume with an ‘*’
   12. DISKPART > exit
   13. C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd c:\path\to\cs1000-linuxbase-7.65.16.00_cf\utilities
   14. C:\path\to\cs1000-linuxbase-7.65.16.00_cf\utilities> syslinux -ma x: 'x:' is the USB drive letter. Don’t forget the ‘:’
   15. C:\path\to\cs1000-linuxbase-7.65.16.00_cf\utilities> cd ..
   16. C:\path\to\cs1000-linuxbase-7.65.16.00_cf> xcopy .\*.* x:\ /e /f copy all files and directories to USB drive
   17. C:\path\to\cs1000-linuxbase-7.65.16.00_cf\utilities> x:
   18. X:\> ren syslinux.cfg original_syslinux.cfg
   19. X:\> ren usb_syslinux.cfg syslinux.cfg

   This step is important: the ‘usb_syslinux.cfg’ file must be renamed ‘syslinux.cfg’ in order for the CS 1000 Linux Base system Installer to run when the system boots. Since a ‘syslinux.cfg’ file already exists, rename it ‘original_syslinux.cfg’ rather than overwrite or delete it.

5. Done! Miller Time.

* Verify disk number in Disk Management: press Win key + r (to open run command) and type diskmgmt.msc
