DOS Command-line Tool Boot Commands
The following table lists the EWF boot commands that are supported.
Boot Command Description
All Displays information about all protected volumes and performs a command, such as disable, enable,
and commit, on each volume if specified.
Commit Commits all current level data in the overlay to the protected volume, and resets the current overlay
level to 1 upon shutdown.
Disable Allows user to write to the image after the next reboot.
Enable Prevents the user from writing to the image after the next reboot.
Commitanddisable Combination of the Commit and Disable commands. This command will commit data in the overlay
upon shutdown. Additionally, EWF will be disabled after the system reboots.
NOTE: When using the Commit boot command, all the temporary contents will be permanently
written to the flash memory. In addition, all content accessed (and changes made) after running
Commit, but before rebooting the system, will be written to the flash memory as well. This includes
changes made during any number of login/logout sessions before the next reboot.
Using Boot Commands
To use the EWF manager boot commands, type the following syntax in a command prompt:
EWFMGR <drive-letter> —[boot command].
NOTE: Because the EWF manager commands are executed on the next boot, you must reboot the
system for the command to take effect.
