1 Introduction
DFI provides a virtualization solution that new X86 platform can also use ISA device.
CS620 provides a host image (Ubuntu), which includes hypervisor KVM and let user
install their legacy image. This document will guide user how to install legacy image
and configure ISA device setting.
1.1 System Setup
There are two parts: Prepare VM and Add Device to VM.
Prepare VM has two cases: New Legacy Image and Old Legacy Image (image from
old machine).

3 Legacy Image Extraction
This section will guide you on how to carry out the legacy system image extraction starting
from the system preparation tool Sysprep thru to the restoration of the new system. You
need two USB drive for this section.
3.1 Sysprep
Sysprep is a tool that comes with Windows. This is the initial step prior to cloning. This step is
known as generalizing the PC. It removes PC-specific information from the Windows image,
including the PC’s security identifier (SID). This allows you to capture the image and apply it
to other PCs.
NOTE
Sysprep files for Windows XP are available in the installation CD or can be downloaded
online at https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000599. For other versions of Windows,
the Sysprep is already included and can be found at C:\Windows\System32\sysprep folde r.

www.dfi.com
17
Steps for Sysprep:
1. In your legacy system, create a new folder in C: drive called Sysprep

www.dfi.com
18
1. Locate the DEPLOY.cab .zip file. This file can be found either in the CD installation or
C:\Windows\System32\or can also be downloaded online
2. Double-click the DEPLOY.cab file
3. Copy over the sysprep.exe file, the setupcl.exe file and the setupmgr.exe file to your C:
\ Sysprep folder
4. Run sysprep.exe file
5. Click Reseal and OK
6. The system will shut down
7. Before booting the legacy system, plug in the Clonezilla USB drive and proceed to
extracting the image from the legacy system
NOTE
Please don’t turn on the system before the image extraction using Clonezilla is completed.
Else, the system will register the original hardware again. If you have already booted-up the
system without completing extracting the image using Clonezilla, re-run the Sysprep steps
again.

3.2 Creating a Bootable Clonezilla USB
Clonezilla is a disk cloning application. It is an open-source application which you can
download and install on your system.
After the Sysprep process is done, continue with cloning the disk content by creating the
bootable USB device using your preferred bootable tool. In this document, the tool used to
create the bootable Clonezilla is Rufus. Prepare two USB devices. Use the first device to
prepare the bootable Clonezilla and the second device to save the disk content to the image
(.iso) file. These two devices are to be plugged in together at the same time.
NOTE
Download Rufus at https://rufus.akeo.ie
NOTE
Download the Clonezilla iso file at
https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
Just download stable version

Steps to create a bootable USB Clonezilla using Rufus:
1. Download Rufus installer
2. Format a USB drive that has equal or bigger size than the file you will move to (i.e
clonezilla.iso)
3. Launch the Rufus installer application
4. Please refer to below settings to burn a Clonezilla USB boot disk
