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.
