Note

USB pen drives may appear, but should not be selected for installation as they are not IDE-bootable devices. CD-ROM or DVD- ROM drives will not be displayed by the GB-Ware system installation process, as they are not writable discs. Other drives will not display.

Caution

Carefully select the correct storage device, especially when using a USB Compact Flash reader/writer to install GB-Ware on a separate system. Installing GB-Ware on the wrong device will overwrite the disk (e.g. selecting the system hard drive will overwrite your operating system or other data, destroying it). You may wish to disconnect non-GB-Ware hard drives before installing to prevent accidental erasure.
