How do I install the nBox firmware on a flash disk?

When you get the nbox firmware you receive an image of a physical disk. The file name will be something like nbox_version.dd.gz. The first thing to do is to unzip the file and obtain nbox_version.dd. This file needs to be copied on a physical device such as a flash disk or USB stick.

• Linux
  You must use a tool named dd that does this job. The procedure to follow is: dd if=nbox_version.dd of=/dev/sdX where /dev/sdX is the name of the physical device you want to upload the firmware to.
• Windows
  You need to use WinDD that is the windows version of the dd Linux tool. You need to select from the graphical interface both the nbox firmware path and the output device.

Note:

• When you copy the firmware onto the device, you will overwrite all existing data, so make sure you backup any valuable data before performing this operation.
• You must copy the firmware onto a physical device and not onto a device partition.
