Burning the ISO image to a USB drive
Appropriate software for burning the ISO image is:
- Rufus on WindowsNote: The alternate ISO burning tool balenaEtcher does not work for our ISO image. You will need access to a computer running Windows and may need Administrator rights to install the Rufus software.
When burning the ISO image, use the below settings (it must use an EFI/GPT boot):
- Partition scheme: GPT
- Target system: UEFIThe USB drive should have the below specification:
- Must be 32 GB or larger
- USB 3.0 recommended
- UEFI boot option must be usedNote: We recommend flashing two USB drives with a different vendor as a backup. Common USB drives can fail to reimage devices with no obvious root cause.
