Windows 2.

0 install using pendrive

Tools needed:

- Pendrive (at least 4 GB)

- Pendrive with high level software
- Windows iso image file 2.0 (winpe_x86_v2.0)
- Rufus v1.2.0.183 application
- Additional files directory
- External usb keyboard and mouse

Step 1.

To install windows from pendrive, a bootable pendrive has to be created first.

Copy the additional files directory and the software rufus_v1.2.0. to your hard disk.

Make sure that the windows 2.0 iso file (winpe_x86_v2.0) is also downloaded to the PC’s hard disk.

Step 2.

Insert the pen drive (4 GB or higher) into the PC

Step 3.

Run the rufus_v1.2.0. exe.

„Rufus” will automatically find the external device

attached to the PC.

Select NTFS for File system.

Cluster size is default.

Make sure that the „Quick format”, the „Create a

bootable disk using ISO image” and the „Create
extended label and icon files” checkboxes are
checked/marked. Click on the disk button to select
the windows ISO file. Browse and find
winpe_x86_v2.0.iso file.

You can also set the „New volume label” to a name

of your choice.

If setting are ready, press Start button.

Step 4.

Let „Rufus” copy the ISO to the pendrive.

It will take approximately 80-120 minutes,

dependig on the hardware.

Do not remove the pendrive during the the

copy!

Step 5.

When copying if finished, you have to

select the files in the Additional files
directory and copy it to the root of the
pendrive.

The pendrive is now a bootable windows

installer. The Pendrive should look like in
the image on the left.
Step 6.
Now we have to set the hematology analyzer to recognize to Pendrive.

Insert the pendrive to the hematology analyzer, also attach the USB keyboard and turn the analyzer
on. While the booting process is going, press „del” button to enter to BIOS.

In Advanced BIOS Features, set the first boot device to Hard disk.

On the same screen you have to enter to Hard Disk Boot Priority. Select the Pendrive to be first, so
the system will use the Pendrive as an external Hard Disk (use + and – buttons to change the order of
HDD).

If setting are ready, press F10 and save to exit from BIOS and restart.
Step 7.
The system now restarts and a message will
appear on the screen „Press any key to
boot from USB”. Press any key, than wait
until windows command console window
appears. If you miss pressing any key, the
system will stop with an error. In this case,
restart the system with CTRL+ALT+DEL. As
the windows console window appears and
it’s ready to receive the commands, type in
„e:”.
Warning: In case of a new HDD, it can happen
that the „e” drive is not available. In this case,
remove the bootable pendrive and type in
the below commands into the console to
create proper partition on the HDD.
DISKPART
SELECT DISK 0
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=100000
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
ACTIVE
ASSIGN LETTER = C
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
ASSIGN LETTER = D
EXIT
EXIT
Replace the pendrive then wait until console
window returns.
If „e” drive exists type in „installpen” to start
the windows install. The system will offer to
options, first one is to recover the windows
the second one is a full format. The recover
format will keep the database, the full
format will erase all data from the HDD
(which is not a problem if the HDD is new).
Choose number 1 or 2 then press enter to
start the process. The windows
install/recovery would take approximately 30
minutes. If the install is done, remove the
pendrive and type „exit” to restart the
system. If you didn’t remove the pendrive,
don’t press any key when it’s offered, let
the system start windows from HDD. If the
touch screen is not calibrated, you have to
use a mouse to find touch screen calibration
on the desktop. Start touchcalib and
calibrate the screen, by pushing the 4
corners (crosses) on the touchscreen. If
touch is calibrated, insert the second
pendrive with the high level software
installer, start total commander and run the
high level software’s msi file.
Step 8.

After install is done, the high level software has to be set properly.

Please adjust or set:

- Calibration factors (load or restore calibration factors if it’s saved before)

- Laser setting (power, low and high angle gains have to be set again for proper scatter values)

- Offsets on amplifiers (optical measurement and impedance meausrement offsets have to be set
(zeroed) in adjustments menu)

- Pressure sensor offsetting (also have to be set to make the pressure sensor work properly)

- Set the serial number of the instrument (the serial number is also stored on the HDD, after
windows install, the serial have to be set again. Use adjustements menu to enter the same serial
number as on the DIMMPC/DIMMBOARD or on the sticker on the back of the instruement).

Windows and high level software install is done.
