Preparing a USB Memory Stick with the update files for PLATINUM 7200 IR M7 or 1000 IM M1 ======================================================================================== Please read the "USB_DOS_EFI_howto.txt" file; For more information about supported file systems etc.. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not write protect your USB stick, if you update a system with the EFI shell. Otherwise the update process will stop with errors at the beginnig of the HSC update (... media not present). This occurs only with write protected USB stick updates, not with CD-ROM updates. 01. Download "MakeUsbBoot.zip" and extract the content to your hard disk. 02. Start "dos2usb.bat x". Where 'x' is the assigned drive letter to the USB memory stick. ATTENTION: All data on your USB memory stick will be DELETED. 03. Download "MainFilesEFI.zip" and "MainFilesDOS.zip" and extract both files to the root of your USB memory stick. Both zip files contains a file named "update.cd" with no content. This file is required for DOS and EFI shell updates. You can overwrite this file or not. 04. Download and extract required EFI update zip files to the USB media root. (7200IRM7.zip and/or 1000IMM1.zip) If you have enough space on your media, you can use all EFI and DOS update files (e.g. other system files, controller.zip, selview.zip etc.) 05. Now you can use the USB memory stick with the EFI shell or you can boot DOS from it. 06. Plug in the USB memory stick in a USB port from your system. 07. Start the system and press the F2-Key to enter the BIOS. 08. Search for the "Boot Manager" tab (use the right or left arrow keys). 09. Choose "EFI Shell" to boot to EFI. 10. The "EFI Shell" will automatically start the scripts from the USB memory stick. 11. Follow update instructions. 12. After successful update, type Exit to boot from the stick. Or if the system returns to the "boot manager tab" then choose the USB memory stick to boot from it. 13. If prompted, choose "a. MAXDATA PLATINUM BIOS & FIRMWARE update" and next choose "a. Normal update with version check (updates only if necessary)" 14. Follow update instructions.
