View source for X5000 Emergency Boot USB

=Introduction=

Some suppliers of the [[X5000]] system may offer and supply a complimentary '''Emergency Boot USB flash drive'''.



==What is the purpose of it?==

OS 4.1 Final Edition provides a set of standard system libraries and drivers which by default supports much older hardware devices.  The more modern [[X5000]] platform uses up to date graphics drivers for both [[RadeonRX|2D]] and [[Warp3D_Nova|3D]] amongst other important system libraries.  This missing critical system software is provided through the [[Enhancer Software]] bundled with all retail versions of the [[X5000]] system.

In order to give customers a great experience with system recovery and setup, [[Amiga Kit|Amiga Kit Technical Services]] compiled an X5000 USB Emergency Boot USB containing the [[Enhancer Software]] and the necessary files to boot the system.   The USB flash drive is designed to make it easy for a user to boot their [[X5000]] and setup/restore a hard drive without the frustrations of manually copying across files from different locations.


=Boot Procedure=

5.  Navigate using the cursor keys to the '''Boot From Mass Storage...''' button and press '''Enter''' or '''M''' shortcut key.
