Cinedeck Bootable BIOS Update Disk Creation Instructions
Download location for the BIOS update disk components:
ftp://ftp.dbox.com
username: cinedeckupdate
password: update123
Folder: BIOS_disk
Making the BIOS update USB thumb drive:
[COMMANDS shown in Blue]
1) Format the thumb drive:
1. Open a command prompt window
2. Type: DISKPART This will start the disk partition program.
3. Type: LIST DISK This will list the available disk partitions to format.
4. The size of the partitions will tell you which partition is the USB thumb drive.
It should be the smallest by far.
NB! You will be formatting the drive, which will erase ALL data!
Be sure you choose the correct drive, the USB thumb drive, not your 10TB video RAID!!
2) Select the correct disk, usually DISK1, then type:
1. CLEAN
2. CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
3. FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
If for some reason this last command fails, right-click “my computer” in the Windows Explorer
and select: “computer management.” In computer management, select “disk management,”
then right click the partition you created and select “format.” In the format dialog, select
“FAT32” and “quick format”.
4. ACTIVE
5. ASSIGN
6. EXIT
3) Once the above is complete, Unzip the contents of “BIOS_update_disk.zip” to a temporary folder, then
copy all files and folders to the new partition on the thumb drive.
4) After the copy is complete, Open a command prompt window and type
1. D: (or the stick drive letter, if not D:)
2. CD UTILS\WIN32
3. MAKEBOOT.BAT
Follow the instructions from the MAKEBOOT program to complete the task.
5) Eject the thumb drive Windows using the “safely remove hardware” button on the
Windows task bar.
