C Restoring the Flash Image
System Requirements
To create a recovery device for the purpose of reashing or restoring the software image on the ROM, you will
need the following:
●
A personal computer running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10.
●
One or more HP t730 Thin Clients
●
8-GB USB ash device for Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES 7) (if using the USB format) or
Linux.
This restore method will not work with all USB ash devices. USB ash devices with multiple
partitions generally do not support this restore method. The range of USB ash devices available on the
market is constantly changing. Not all USB ash devices have been tested with the HP Thin Client
Imaging Tool.
Before using the utility, you must download the appropriate image from http://www.hp.com.
Getting Started
There are two deployment options supported by this utility. You can choose to do one or more of the
following using your personal computer:"
●
Create a bootable ash image on a USB ash device.
●
Unbundle the image to a directory for use in a custom deployment scenario or PXE image.
Download and run the Package-for-the-Web deliverable (an .exe le) that contains the original factory image
for the thin client. The HP Thin Client Imaging Tool (CRStart.exe) runs automatically.
Choose one of the deployment options: Each option is described in the following paragraphs.

Deployment
During the restore process, the thin client ash drive will be reformatted and all data on it will be erased
before the system image is copied to it. To prevent loss of data, be sure that you have saved any user-
created data from the ash drive. During the rst restart of the thin client following the restore process,
it may take approximately 15 minutes to unbundle the software before the Windows Desktop is
displayed.
