Hi I bought a Optiplex FX170 thin client from ebay. It already had Windows Embedded installed on it (not sure if it was WES 2009 or WES7. Anyways, I deleted the partition and installed DeTOS on it. Now I want to reinstall WES back on it. I am completely confused, this is my first time working with a thin client.

I found this page with links to all the images:

http://ftp.dell.com/Pages/Drivers/optiplex-fx170.html

I think I downloaded the first one, Windows Embedded Standard 2009 - WDM. extracted the file. has many directories includes an .rsp file and a separate directory with .img files. I download the Wyse USB Firmware Tool and tried using that. Selected the configure a new USB key and push firmware to it. selected the .rsp file but it gives me an error while creating the key, saying usb is either less than 1gb (its a 15GB usb...) or image isnt the correct one.


I'm lost and I just want to get the WES back on my thinclient.
