How to install BootIt Next Generation |
| 1. If you are using the downloaded version, either create the installation floppy boot disk or
bootable international standards organization (ISO) image CD/DVD disc as described in Step
1: Creating the Boot Disk or ISO Image. |
2. Use either the floppy disk or CD/DVD disc to install BootIt NG on your hard disk as
described in Step 2: Installing BootIt NG on Your Hard Disk. |
|
| Step 1: Creating the Boot Disk or ISO Image |
| This step is not necessary if you will be installing BootIt NG from installation media which was
provided with your purchase. If you are using pre-made installation media, please skip to Step 2. |
| |
| Depending upon your version
of Windows, you can either use Windows Explorer or File Manager to complete the following
procedure. |
| |
| Step 1: Create the boot disk using the MakeDisk utility (Windows users) |
| 1. Download the free MakeDisk utility. (attatched in BootItNG.zip) |
| |
| 2. Extract the contents of MakeDisk.zip to a folder of your choice. |
| |
| 3. Extract the contents of BootItNG.zip to the same folder you extracted MakeDisk.zip to in
Step 2. The note regarding Windows XP in Step 2 applies here as well. |
| |
| 4. Run MakeDisk.exe from the folder of steps 2 and 3. The MakeDisk welcome screen
appears. |
| |
| 5. Click Next on the MakeDisk welcome screen. The BootIt NG license agreement screen
appears. |
| |
| 6. Read the BootIt NG license agreement, and if you accept it, select the “I accept the
agreement” button and click Next. The BootIt NG Mouse Support option screen appears. |
| |
| 7. Choose the appropriate option to either enable or disable mouse support, and then click Next.
The BootIt NG Video Options screen appears. |
| |
| 8. Keep the default selection, “VESA Video”, unless you know for certain that you need to use
one of the other video options. Click Next. The BootIt NG registration screen appears. |
| |
| 9. If you have purchased a BootIt NG license, enter the registration information you were
provided with in the text boxes shown on this screen. If you wish to use the trial version of
BootIt NG, simply leave the text boxes empty, which will result in BootIt NG operating in a
30-day time-limited trial mode. Click Next. The “Select Target” screen appears. |
| |
| 10. Choose the target that MakeDisk should use. If you choose the “ISO File” option, you must
supply an ISO file name. Click Finish, and respond to subsequent prompts as necessary.
MakeDisk will then create your bootable media or ISO image. When it is done, the success
screen should appear. |
| |
| 11. If you opted to create bootable media in step 10, you are done with Step 1, proceed to Step 2:
Installing BootIt NG on Your Hard Disk. If you selected the “ISO File” option instead, you
will first have to use other CD/DVD authoring software to create a bootable BootIt NG
installation disc from the ISO file. Once you have done that, proceed to Step 2: Installing
BootIt NG on Your Hard Disk. |
|
| Step 1: Create the boot disk or ISO image (DOS or Windows users) |
| 1. Uncompress the contents of BootItNG.zip to its own folder on your hard disk, and then
locate (or change to) that folder. |
| |
| 2. Double-click BootItNG.exe (or type BootItNG.exe and press Enter). |
| |
| 3. If you accept the license agreement, select the appropriate build option from the menu, and
then press Enter. |
| |
| 4. Do one of the following: |
|
To create the floppy boot disk, insert the disk in the appropriate disk drive, and then
press Enter. After about 1 minute, a message indicates whether or not the boot disk was
created. (If the disk was bad, inset a new disk into the drive, and then press Enter.) |
|
To create the bootable CD/DVD disc, insert the CD/DVD disc in the appropriate drive,
and then use BurnCDCC™ or your CD/DVD burning program to burn the BootItNG.iso image file (that was created in step 3) from its folder to the CD/DVD. |
| |
| 5. Proceed to Step 2: Installing BootIt NG on Your Hard Disk. |
|
| |
| Step 1: Create the boot disk or ISO image (Linux users) |
| 1. Uncompress the contents of BootItNG.zip to its own directory on your hard disk, and then
change to that directory. |
| |
| 2. Do one of the following: |
|
To create the floppy boot disk using the cp or dd command (if you accept the license
agreement), verify that the disk is not mounted and that you are signed on as root, and
then type: cp DISKIMG3.DAT /dev/fd0 or dd if=DISKIMG3.DAT of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 |
|
To create the bootable CD/DVD disc (if you accept the license agreement): Type: mkisofs –R –V “BOOTITNG” –b DISKIMG3.DAT –c catfile –o BOOTITNG.ISO. Then type: cdrecord –v speed=8 dev=1,0 BOOTITNG.ISO |
| (Be sure to adjust dev= to the appropriate value) |
| |
| 3. Proceed to Step 2: Installing BootIt NG on Your Hard Disk. |
| |
|
| Step 2: Boot from the floppy disk or CD/DVD |
| 1. Consider doing the following: |
|
From within BIOS (basic input/output system) setup, verify that your system boot up
sequence is correct: |
| For the floppy disk drive, it should be something similar to: A:/C: and not C:/A: |
| For the CD/DVD drive, it should be something similar to: CDROM/C: |
| Disable the boot-sector virus protection option. |
|
If you leave the virus protection option enabled, it may cause issues. |
| |
|
| 2. Shut down and turn off your computer. |
| |
| 3. Insert either the BootIt NG Setup floppy disk or CD/DVD disc in the correct drive, and then
turn on your computer. |
| BootIt NG should begin loading from the floppy disk or CD/DVD. |
| If BootIt NG doesn’t seem to load and your system starts as it normally does, double-check
that you configured the BIOS correctly. |
