To use the program effectively on modern systems like Windows 10 or 11, certain precautions must be taken.
Ensure you have administrator rights on your Windows machine. Unplug the FPGA development board from the USB port.
Choose your application structure (HD Loader 28bit for drives under 120GB, or for drives up to 1TB/2TB).
