  • To image a system using Phoenix, first the source drive must be selected. Typically this will be the release drive set up through Phoenix Igniter.
  • If the selected drive is encrypted Phoenix will prompt for the BitLocker password to unencrypt the drive.
  • After the drive is unencrypted use the Browse button to select the WIM to be installed.
  • Next select the appropriate Bios type for the target machine, as well as the physical drive to install the operating system on.
  • Clicking "Wipe and Load" will install the selected WIM on the selected physical disk, overwriting the current contents of the disk.
