Hello,

I was just given an old S30 that comes with the 32Mb Flash Drive.

The drive was wiped before I got it (not just a factory reset) so I need to re-image it.

I went on the Wyse website and got the USB Firmware tool plus the Windows CE 5.0 image for 32Mb flash drive. I got confused about which one of these is the right image so I tried most of them.

When I use the Firmware tool and select any of the .rsp files in the unzipped image folder (e.g. 593.0Wye95_C30) I get the error message “i2d file doesn’t exist or invalid package format”

I’m guessing it is the former because I can’t find any i2d files whatsoever in the unzipped folder.

I know I’m doing something wrong but wouldn’t have a clue what.

All I want the thin client for is to do some web browsing and email etc. I even tried installing puppy linux on it, but 32Mb isn’t enough space 🙂

Cheers,

Paul

First of all, USB Imager and S-class is not a good combination. In most cases it will fail due to limited BIOS support.
But you can try and simply rename the *.bin file to *.i2d and point the USB Imager to that i2d file.
Otherwise use Wyse Simple Imager from this website.

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
