Hopedot VOS will automatically detect available removable storage devices.

4). After selecting the disk, Hopedot VOS will then ask your to create a partition file on your disk. A partition file is where all your stuff on Hopedot VOS environment will be stored. So if you have tons of applications and files to install on it, set a relatively large capacity. Note that you should set a capacity of no less than 100 MB and mo more than your disk capacity.

Then you will set a password for your partition file. which is very important and you will use it to access your Hopedot VOS environment.

5). After partition file creation, click "Next" and Hopedot VOS will begin to install and in a few seconds it will be finished. You will see the finishing setup interface.
