4. Run Win32DiskImager.exe.
5. Select Device - target disk.
6. Select Image File - 128MBDOS.img.
7. Press Write to proceed.
8. Wait until completion.
9. Disconnect the UFD and connect it again. It should now be assigned a drive letter.
10. Copy the SFlash16.exe file to the root directory on the UFD.
11. Download and extract latest BIOS.
12. Copy the xxxxxx.ROM file to the root directory on the UFD.
13. Connect the UFD to the fit-PC2 and boot. Press F2 during boot to enter CMOS Setup Utility.
14. Set 1st boot priority to USB KEY.
15. Save and exit.
16. fit-PC2 should boot to DOS from the thumb drive.
