4 Easy Capture
NOTE: Easy Capture is available on Windows Embedded Standard 7 only with HP Easy Tools
version 3.0.1.1725 or later. See Easy Deploy on page 5 for more information about the component
that existed in older versions of HP Easy Tools.
Easy Capture creates a bootable USB flash drive, prepares an HP thin client image for deployment,
and then captures the HP thin client image on the USB flash drive.
WARNING! Disk encryption must be disabled prior to using this tool.
To capture an image:
1. Either select Next or select the Capture Image tab.
2. Select a post-deployment write filter state. HP recommends enabling either the Enhanced Write
Filter (EWF) or the File-Based Write Filter (FBWF).
3. Connect a USB flash drive to the thin client with the image you want to capture.
4. Select Capture.
NOTE: This formats the USB flash drive and reboots the thin client automatically.
5. Select Next.
6. Select Finish to exit HP Easy Tools.
