*Notice: This step is one of the reasons why we need the Windows ADK. The binary "oscdimg" is included in this Microsoft package. "oscdimg" is used by "08_MakeISOfromStick.cm" for creating the ISO image.*
# 10 Installation
(Using your stick/your disk to install a new machine.)
## 10.1 Firmware settings
Enter your firmware (typically by pressing "ESC", "F1" or "ENTF" while the machine is starting). DISABLE secure boot and all the other rubbish. Goto menu "Startup".
### 10.1.1 Boot order
Set your boot order in the machines "Startup" menu to:
- 1st Device: Hard Disk
- 2nd Device: USB Disk
Remove all other boot devices from the list.

### 10.1.2 Boot method
In case you want to install via BIOS method set the firmware to:
- Legacy only
In case you want to install via UEFI method set the firmware to:
- UEFI only
DO NOT USE "both" - in most cases this WILL cause trouble!
## 10.2 Booting
Power off your machine completely and boot it. Hit the "F12" key (or the key needed to select the boot device - in some cases this could also be "F11" or some other key) so that the machine starts from your newly generated USB drive.

In the next screen select your USB disk:

## 10.3 Installing
After booting from the USB media you will see a menu. Select "INSTALL system" and click on "Yes" two times. *IMPORTANT! This will DELETE ALL DATA from your machine!* Answering "No" will reboot the machine without touching your data.
Clicking on the button "COMMAND shell" will start the rescue system.
Clicking on "Snapshot 64" will start the Bsckup/Restore program and you can restore your machine (from bare metal) over the network or with the attached USB drive using an image that was previously saved with "Snapshot 64").

## 10.4 Troubleshooting
*IMPORTANT!*
The windows setup program is not able to use "exfat" when starting in UEFI mode!
This means you can use 2 types of media to install a windows system:
1.) UEFI boot
- media **must** be formatted with **fat32** *ONLY*
- max. media size is **32768 MBytes**
- max. **WIM file** size must be smaller than **4 GBytes**
(because fat32 does not support files larger than 4 GBytes)
2.) BIOS boot
- media can be formatted with fat32 or exfat
- max. media size is limited by disk format (exfat can be larger)
- max. WIM file size can be larger than 4 GBytes
*Do NOT try to use exfat with UEFI boot!* This **will** result in the following error:
