    In this step, you will use the “USB Disk Storage Format Tool” program to prepare the flash memory to be bootable. There are many programs to help you do this, but this program is simple and easy to use and does not need to be installed on the computer.

    Place the flash memory in one of the USB ports on your computer (the program will delete all files from the USB drive, so it should not contain your important files).

    Download the program from this link. After that, run the program as administrator.

    You can download the “HP DMI TOOLKIT” file from this link.

    After downloading the tools files. You extract the HPDMI folder and the AUTOEXEC file from the zip file.
