Capturing an HP ThinPro image to a USB flash drive
To capture an HP ThinPro image to USB flash drive:
IMPORTANT: Back up any data on the USB flash drive before you begin. HP ThinState
automatically formats the flash drive to create a bootable USB flash drive. This process will erase all
data currently on the flash drive.
1. Insert a USB flash drive into a USB port on the client.
2. Select Management > ThinState in the Control Panel.
3. Select the HP ThinPro image, and then click Next.
4. Select make a copy of the HP ThinPro image, and then click Next.
5. Select create a bootable USB flash drive, and then click Next.
6. Select the USB flash drive, and then click Finish.
When the image capture begins, all applications stop and a new window appears showing the
progress. If a problem occurs, click Details for information. The desktop reappears after the
capture is complete.
Deploying an HP ThinPro image with a USB flash drive
To deploy an HP ThinPro image with a USB flash drive:
IMPORTANT: If you abort a deployment, the previous image will not be restored and the contents of
the client's flash drive will be corrupted.
1. Turn off the target client.
2. Insert the USB flash drive.
3. Turn on the client.
NOTE: The screen remains black for 10-15 seconds while the client detects and boots from the
USB flash drive. If the client fails to boot from the USB flash drive, try unplugging all other USB
devices and repeat the procedure.

already exist before initiating the save.
