This page contains Legacy Software Instructions (Software versions 1.2.3 and prior)
- Connect both an empty solid state drive, and the one you wish to copy from (containing an image of the EM software), to the EM control box.
- Insert USB flash drive that contains a linux live OS boot disk into control box
- Hit “F10” button to choose boot device
- Select the USB drive and let the live OS boot
- Once Live OS is booted. Open a terminal. (Available under applications > accessories)
- Type “sudo gparted” at the command prompt
- The gparted partition manager application will open. Your disks are listed under File->devices. There will be a 3rd, smaller device listed, which is the USB drive. Select the OS image disk. This will be the one with some space already allocated. Make a note of the disk name (for example, sdb).
- Right click the bar representing the disk’s free space, and click “copy”
- Switch to the blank disk under File->devices.
- Select “device->create partition table”
- Right click the disk and click “manage flags”. Enable the boot flag.
- Right click it and press “paste”
- Click the green check mark to apply your changes. You’ll have to wait 10 minutes for this to complete
- When the image has finished copying, close gparted. You may need to install grub at this point, if it’s a new SSD. Instructions for this are in an appendix of this document.
- Shut down EM Box and remove the Image disk and the Linux boot thumb drive
- The new EM box OS disk is ready to use. Install new Data collection drive and power on the EM control box
- Connect the data disk to a Linux computer (An EM control box will suffice, in which case log into the “ecotrust” account. If using an EM control box, you should also stop it from recording data before you proceed.)
- If the data disk has been used before ensure the data on it has been archived before proceeding.
- Type “ sudo gparted ”.
- Select your data disk from “ File > devices ”.
- Select “Device->create partition table”
- Right click the disk and format it to the “ext3” file system. Apply the operations by clicking the green check mark.
