Restoring hard drive on G4 control
Turn on your control with the USB stick
installed and go into CMOS setup by pressing Del on startup.
You need to start tapping on the Del key when you see the
EPIA logo screen. In the CMOS screen, use the down arrow to
highlight "Advanced BIOS Settings" and press Enter. On the
advanced page, arrow down to the "Boot priority" item and
press Enter. You'll now see a list of boot devices. Arrow
down to "USB-HDD0" and press the PgUp (Coolant) key to move
the USB drive to the top of the list. Press the F10 key to
save the changes and exit from the setup screen.
When the control gets to the OmniTurn logo screen, press
Ctrl-C to drop to the DOS prompt, which will be K:\CNC>.
Type C:
and Enter to switch to the C: drive, and then
CD\ and Enter to switch to the
root directory. The C: drive is always the one you booted
on, and if the CMOS settings are correct, it is the USB
stick. Verify this by typing
DIR and Enter. The remaining
space on the drive should be over 1.9 gigabytes (a 10-digit
number) and if the boot drive is the internal hard drive it
will be in the range of 20 to 125 megabytes (8 or 9 digits).
It's important to be sure that the boot drive is in fact the
USB stick, because we are about to clone the boot drive, and
the USB stick is what we want to be the source. So now that
we've verified that the USB stick is in fact the boot drive,
type MAKEHD
and Enter. The USB stick will clone itself to the internal
hard drive.
