This is a process to incorporate a "Boot up erase program" into a commercially available USB flash drive.
You can start the PC from the set USB flash drive and use the "Boot up Erase Program".
The created USB flash drive can be booted in both the BIOS and UEFI environments.

Warning !

* Please note that the USB flash drive is initialized by the setting process and the inside is erased. * Please use a USB flash drive of 64GB or less. Anything larger than 64GB will be treated as an erase target drive and you will not be able to write logs. Also, when automatic erase is set, it will be erased automatically. * USB flash drives that are encrypted and those require a password at the time of use cannot be used for booting.

* The USB flash drive can be set if it has a capacity of about 128MB.


Select USB stick

Select the USB flash drive to be set from the list.
* A list of USB removable drives is displayed.

When you make a selection, information such as the current setting type is displayed.

Config type

Select the method for setting the USB flash drive.
Normally, select "HDD type".
Depending on the PC, it may not be possible to boot with the "HDD type".
In that case, please try with "Large FDD type".

If you check "Limit to 2G", the USB flash drive larger than 2GB will be limited to the capacity of 2GB.
This is an option when you cannot boot with a large capacity one on an old PC.
* Even if you set "Limit to 2GB", if you format it in Windows, you can use it with normal capacity.

You may need to change the BIOS settings to boot from a USB flash drive.
For information on changing the BIOS settings, see "Setting the boot environment on BIOS/UEFI".
