Create DETech for BIOS (standalone) bootable disk

Prev Next

Trellix DETech (Standalone) is a disaster recovery tool that allows you to perform normal recovery functions. It enhances the user experience with a simplified process of creating the DETech boot disk. You can create the boot disk by running a simple command from the command prompt.

Make sure that you have a USB drive/port in your computer and a USB memory stick.

Create a bootable USB memory stick:

  1. Extract EETech.zip and copy the Standalone folder in the desired location.

  2. Insert the USB memory stick and format it using this command: C:\>format 'volume': /FS:FAT32 /V:EETech

    Make sure to replace 'volume' with the drive letter of the USB drive/port. For instance, consider the USB drive/port as 'G'.

    Note

    The right-click format (FAT 32) and quick format (FAT32) do not work on all USB memory sticks or hardware combinations.

  3. From the command prompt, point to the Standalone folder.

  4. Run the command Bootdisk.exe EETech.RTB <drive letter>: to create the bootable USB memory stick.

    When using the bootable USB memory stick, you must perform the Set Boot Disk operation.

    Note

    On some BIOS, DETech does not function properly when booted from the USB memory stick. This is because of how certain BIOS recognize and handle the bootable USB memory stick during and after the boot process. In this situation, we recommend that you use alternative methods for booting DETech.
