How to Flash (Write) a Computer Operating System (O.S.) to an Internal Storage Device such as H.D.D. or S.S.D.
- Verify sufficient free space available on the target installation partition of the internal storage device
- Flash the O.S. to an external storage device (E.S.D.): LiveUSB
- Power-off the target computer and ensure the external storage device remains connected
- Power-on the target computer and set BootSequence: if the computer does not start/boot from the external storage device it will be necessary to either access a boot menu, or the U.E.F.I/B.I.O.S. firmware settings, so that the computer is instructed to boot with the desired optical drive or U.S.B. flash memory drive (and not any internal drive); re-starting will be necessary in conjunction with using the correct key(s).
- Configure the keyboard, locale & timezone settings {one is offered to do this either during start-up or immediately after}
- Menu > System > GParted
- After any modifications re-start the computer without saving any changes and with the E.S.D. connected
- Menu > System > Puppy Universal Installer
- Remove the E.S.D. and completely power-off the computer without saving
- Power-on the computer
