Note: If you want to use Windows 7 or Windows 8 as client OS, when installing OS, you need to
connect the boot disk to the SATA0 interface of the mother board. If you are not sure which is the
SATA0 interface, you can remove other hard disks on the client, just leave one HDD for installing OS.
The reason is that, on Windows 7 and Windows 8, the boot data will always be written to the hard disk
which is connected to the SATA0 interface. If the HDD on the SATA0 interface is not the boot disk, the
client will be failed to boot from that image. Because CCBoot only uploads the boot disk data.
