Some applications, such as the firmware update components, require the use of a writable medium. A writable file system allows for the expansion of the contents of the components and provides a scratch area for the backup firmware image copied from the device under flash. While using Windows® PE on CD is not suitable for this purpose, a USB drive key provides the ideal medium for this type of activity.
