Create DETech for UEFI (Standalone) bootable USB

Prev Next

Trellix DETech for UEFI (Standalone) is a disaster recovery tool that allows the administrator 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 Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive/port in your computer and a USB memory stick.

  1. Extract EETech.zip and place 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

    For example, if the Windows operating system detects the USB drive as G, replace 'volume' with 'G'.

    C:\>format G: /FS:FAT32 /V:EETech

    Note

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

  3. Create the directory structure "\EFI\Boot" on the USB memory stick.

  4. For 32-bit systems, extract EpeTechEfi32.efi and copy it to the USB memory stick, renaming it to "\EFI\Boot\BootIA32.efi". For 64-bit systems, extract EpeTechEfi.efi and copy it to the USB memory stick, renaming it to "\EFI\Boot\BootX64.efi" (they can both be present on the same USB memory stick).

    Note

    In the Trellix ePO console, the system property Firmware Type under Drive Encryption indicates whether a particular system is MBR, UEFI 32-bit, or UEFI 64-bit.

The bootable USB memory stick is created. The combination of directory and filename must be recognized by the UEFI system allowing it to boot from the USB memory disk.
