Server requirements
Software requirements
CCBoot server can be run on any system above Windows 7.
1. We recommend installing Windows Server 2016 Standard.

2. The second choice is Windows Server 2019 Standard.
3. The third choice is Windows 10 Pro
Note:
1. We don’t recommend using Windows 10 on the server if you have more than 20 client
PCs. It is because CCbootCloud uses a shared folder to save game progress and fix
some games.
2. Do not install antivirus on your server computer as it scans the system and creates high
disk activity causing clients to lag and games start to load slowly.
Hardware requirements
Here is the recommended server hardware for diskless boot with CCBoot.
CPU:
Intel Quad Core Processor (i5 or higher)
Motherboard:
Server motherboard that supports 16GB or more RAM, 6 to 8 or more SATA Ports.
RAM:
No. Of Clients Server RAM
10 - 30 16 GB
30 -70 32 GB
70 - 100 64+ GB
www.ccboot.com
For 100+ client PCs, we recommend using 2 or more Servers with load balance.
Image disk: the hard disk that stores the client OS boot data. We call it an "image".
Game disk: the hard disks that store the game data.
Note: Please keep in mind that if your gamedisk is bigger than 2TB you should initialize this disk
as GPT volume.
Figure 1
Writeback disk: the hard disks that store the client write data. In diskless booting, all data are
read and written to/from the server. So, we need a writeback disk to save the client's write data.
Other products are also named as "write cache".
SSD Disk: the disk that is used to cache game disk data. Caching game disk data in SSD Disk
gives clients quicker access to game files as SSD is much faster than traditional HDD. In case if
you use an SSD disk for a game disk the SSD cache disk is optional or just use an NVMe disk
as a cache to improve the SSD game disk.
Required Hard Disks:
1) One SATA SSD is used for server OS (C:\) and CCBoot Server install (D:\).
2) One SSD for image disk - 256GB
3) SSD for game disk.

www.ccboot.com
In case you want to use RAID 0 we recommend using Windows disk manager to setup RAID0
instead of hardware RAID in BIOS. We recommend setting SATA mode as AHCI in BIOS.
Because AHCI is better for writeback disks' write performance. For more information, please
refer to AHCI on wiki. In the BIOS, SATA mode can only be one of AHCI and RAID. If we set it
as AHCI, the RAID function of the motherboard will be invalid. So we use Windows disk
manager to setup RAID0. The performance is the same as hardware RAID0.
3) SSD for write-back disk (256+ GB)
Note: For 25 - 30 users, 1 writeback disk is enough, for 30+ users, use 2 writeback disks.
We do NOT recommend using RAID for write-back disks. If one disk is broken, we can use the
other one. If you use RAID for writeback disk, then, one disk break then it will cause all clients
stop working. On the other hand, CCBoot will auto balance the writeback disk when you have
more than one disks. Using two disks the write performance is better than using RAID. Using
SSD as writeback disk is better than hard disk as SSD has good IOPS.
Raid 0 from SSD for writeback does not improve performance because for random read/write
IOPS will not increase, raid 0 on SSD increases only sequential read/write speed.
Note: Do not use cheap SSD for writeback and SSD disk as they are unreliable and may cause
clients to hang when the SSD gets corrupt. Also, do not use SSD for a few roles because it will
reduce the performance. Choose an SSD with high read/write speed. Faster SSD for writeback
results in better performance for clients. We recommend using an SSD with IOPS for random
read/write more than 90K (for example : Samsung EVO series).
Note: Format all disks (Hard disks or SSDs) with 32K allocation unit except windows
partition/disk , as it provides you the best performance. - Do Not skip this
Note: Allocation units also play a significant role in game performance, as we have found some
games will experience lag if allocation unit is 4K, after changing to 32K the lag experienced was
resolved.
4) One SSD disk for SSD cache (256+ GB).
Network:
1 Gigabit Ethernet or 2 x 1 Gigabit Ethernet team network. We recommend Intel and Realtek 1
GbE Series.
For 10-15 PCs, use 1 GbE on the server and for 20-30 PCs, use 2 x 1 GbE on the server.
Use CAT 6 Cable for best performance, can use CAT 5e for smaller deployment of 10-20 PCs.
For network switch, please use 1 GbE unmanaged switch.
Important: Do not use PCI gigabit ethernet card on the server if you are planning to add NICs
to give more bandwidth to client
www.ccboot.com
If you want to add more NIC then find PCIe gigabit ethernet cards as they provide better
bandwidth than PCI cards.

Client requirements
Software requirements
CCBootCloud supports diskless boot of the following OS systems:
1. Windows 7 and x64.

2. Windows 8 x32 and x64.
3. Windows 8.1 x32 and x64
4. Windows 10 x32 and x64
5. Windows 11
Notes: It's diskless boot, so you no need to install any antivirus software at the client.
Important: Clients will not boot from CCBoot if you have enabled “SecureBoot” in bios.
You must disable “SecureBoot” in bios if you want to boot in uefi mode.
Hardware requirements
If you want to use CCBoot for diskless boot of PC, the PC should have the following features:
1. The NIC should be a PXE 2.x compatible network adapter. The NIC can be onboard or
installed. For most up-to-date motherboards, the onboard NIC can support PXE 2.x. For
example, Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards.
2. 1 Gbps speed NIC. We DO NOT recommend using 100M NIC. The diskless boot speed
will be slow and can only boot a small amount of XP workstations.
3. We recommend using Realtek and Intel 1000M series NIC. We DO NOT recommend
using NVIDIA NIC. Since NVIDIA NIC is not stable in diskless booting. Some earlier and
cheap Atheros NIC is also NOT recommended. They are not stable and have poor
performance in diskless booting.
4. Till now, CCBoot CANNOT diskless boot with wireless NIC (Wi-Fi network cards).
5. The minimum RAM size is 512M. We recommend the client to use 2G RAM for XP and
4G RAM for Windows 7.
6. CPU can be AMD or Intel, no specific requirements. (Note: Intel 7th and 8th Generation
CPU and boards are also supported)
7. Sometimes when your motherboard has a TPM module, it may prevent diskless booting,
hence disable the TPM in the BIOS. This is mostly for the new motherboard that has this
feature.
Notes:
1. To disable TPM, after entering the BIOS, visit the Security tab and then set the TPM option to
“Disabled”.
2. Boot from USB LAN is not supported. Also, zero clients like NComputing Zero clients are not
supported as clients.
www.ccboot.com
3. Killer NIC E2200, E2400, E2500 are supported in CCBoot new version since 20161221
4. CCBoot supports the recently released Ryzen CPU and motherboards for it as well. Ryzen
1700, 1700x have the best price to performance ratio for users.
5. CCBoot supports all Intel processors including the Skylake as well as the new KabyLake
processors and the 7th and 8th gen processors and the respective boards.
6. CCBoot has support for Intel NUC and mini PCs from multiple vendors such as Gigabyte,
MSI, Asrock, etc.
Important: For NUC, the only requirement that needs to be satisfied is that the NUC must have
support to boot from legacy BIOS, if the NUC does not have support for boot in BIOS, you won't
be able to boot from CCBoot.
Recommended hardware requirements

Regular PCs (Full HD gaming 144Hz for online games)
● B365 or Z390 or B450 for amd
● i5-9400f or R5-3600
● RAM 16 gb 2666
● GPU RTX 2060S or 1080ti or 2070S or RX 5700XT
VIP (QHD gaming 144Hz for online games)

● Z490 or X570 for amd
● i5-10600 or R5-3600XT
● RAM 32 GB
● GPU RTX 3060 ti or 3070 or 5800 or 2080S or 2080ti
Network requirements
For better performance, we recommend the Gigabit network environment (Server & Client NICs
and Switches).
1. Normal or advanced router is OK. It only affects the Internet speed. But most routers
have built-in DHCP service. It will conflict with CCBoot DHCP service. You have to
disable the DHCP service on the router.
2. Switch should be 1Gbps speed. If the switch is a smart switch, you need to disable the
"flow control" option in the switch settings. This option will reduce the diskless boot
speed. We recommend CISCO and HUAWEI switches.
3. CAT-5, CAT-5e and CAT-6 cables are all supported. But we recommend you to use
CAT-5e and CAT-6 cable. CAT-5 cable has "far end crosstalk" problem and it will cause
packet loss.
4. Unmanaged network switches, "TP-link, Toto-link, Pro-link, D-Link" These network
switches are plug in and play no configuration required.
5. Routers with QoS function available, it will permit you to use a bandwidth monitor to
check for the download currently active on the specific system.

Quick start
Preparation
Please use the 64-bit version of OS, if you plan to use other OS than Windows Server OS as
CCBoot server system platform.
1. All hard disks should be formatted as NTFS. When format drives, please set "Allocation
unit size" as "Default" for server OS system drive, and set "Allocation unit size" as "32K"
for other drives.
2. Allocate hard disks for image, game (raid 0) and writeback (2-3 hard disks). If you have
an SSD disk, please format it to only one partition for cache. Make sure that there are no
other DHCP services on the LAN. In Particular, please disable the DHCP service in the
router.

Create boot image

Though we provide super images, you can also make a boot image by yourself.
Create legacy boot image

Important: We recommend using clean windows ISO, use of images from Microsoft site is better
because images have modifications on patches made by third-party so they can cause lags and
issues in future on diskless PC.
1. Choose one of the client PCs as a master PC and connect the HDD. If you have many
different motherboards/specifications PCs, then choose the newest one. For example,
the motherboard that was released recently.
Note: Before installing Windows to your client PC's hard disk, make sure the BIOS is set
to Legacy (or Legacy + UEFI) mode and is not set in UEFI boot mode (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. When you create a USB bootable drive to Install OS use the Media creation tool.
www.ccboot.com
3. Install the client OS system and Install the latest patches of Windows as well as the
service packs if available.
4. Install the motherboard chipset drivers and NIC driver. With only a chipset and NIC
driver installed the image will be compatible with most specifications. If you install all
device drivers, the image may have graphics and other driver conflicts with different
specifications. We can install other device drivers once the client has successfully
booted and is placed in super client mode.
5. Set static ip (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Note: Static ip depends on your network.
6. Install the latest patches of Windows as well as the service packs if available. And
optimize the system. Refer to Client OS system optimization.
7. Also Install the motherboard chipset drivers and NIC driver. Only with a chipset and NIC
driver installed, the image will be compatible with most of the specifications. If you install

7. Enable .Net framework 3.5 (Figure 6).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 6
8. Install the latest patches of Windows as well as the service packs if available. And
optimize the system. Refer to Client OS system optimization.
9. Also, install the motherboard chipset drivers and NIC driver. Only with a chipset and NIC
driver installed, the image will be compatible with most of the specifications. If you install
all device drivers, the image may have graphics and other driver conflicts with different
specifications.
10. Install CCBoot client.
11. Download and install the NIC drivers from the vendor's site (Realtek or Intel).
12. Optimize the NIC Driver (Server and client network optimization).
13. Upload Image by referring to step 11 in Create legacy boot image
14. Once the image is unloaded, copy the vhd file on the image disk and add it to CCBoot
cloud. Refer to "Add boot image”.
15. After you assign the image(the UEFI image) to the client, choose for PXE - ipxe.efi
(Figure 7).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 7
16. Make sure your clients BIOS is compatible to boot an UEFI image by following the wiki

Single image boot different PCs
One image for PCs with different GPUs
You might get drivers issues when there are graphics cards of the same brand (let's say Nvidia)
but different versions in different PCs. In this case, create and use hardware profiles , please
refer to Hardware profile.
Also, when a pop up the message of "Installing PNP Driver for New Hardware" appears
(Windows 7)or shows "Getting Devices Ready" (windows 10) screen during boot in a client pc
with different hardware specifications.
NIC PNP
To add multiple NIC drivers to the image you should use the NIC PNP tool, so a single image
can boot PCs with different motherboards. NIC PNP function can be used for adding or
removing the NIC drivers as well.
www.ccboot.com
We recommend using this function from the cloud side.

There are 3 methods for NIC PNP. They are:
Edit NIC drivers

Edit NIC drivers function is used for adding necessary drivers available as well as removing
unwanted drivers in the image.
Refer to Edit NIC drivers to perform this operation.
Add from inf

Add from inf function is used to add necessary NIC drivers to the image from the inf file. You
can get the inf files from the NIC vendor's site.
Refer to Add from inf to perform this operation.
Add from local

Add from local function is used to add the NIC drivers installed in any PC to an image.
Refer to Add from local to perform this operation.
PNP for windows 10 1903 and above
In case you use Windows 10 1903 and above, you need to install the windows on HDD, boot
the client with the HDD, download and install the NIC drivers from the vendors site (Realtek or
Intel) and use the “Add from local” function to add new PC to boot image.

“CCBootShare” folder address and click “Manual Upload” button to proceed to upload
the image (as in Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
Note: If you want to make use of both NIC then you need to set Static IP on the main NIC for
booting and leave the second NIC for DHCP.
This way, you can use both NIC for internet access or for networking purposes.
www.ccboot.com
Create VHD USB

Another simple way to make a client image is to use the “Create VHD USB” tool. This method is
similar to using “ImageX” to create images. This has more flexibility of supporting “.esd” file
which is not support with “ImageX”
So, let’s see how to make image

1. Open “Create VHD USB” tool from the “Tools” menu (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. On the “Create VHD USB” windows, click the "…” button to choose the image file for
Windows “install.wim” or “install.esd” file (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
3. Once you have chosen the Windows image, choose your desired windows version from
the dropdown; select the USB Drive that you want to make Windows bootable and click
“Create” button(Figure 3).
Figure 3
4. Now, the tool will proceed and make the USB drive bootable with windows.
Note: We recommend using USB 3.0 USB drives as they are faster than other USB
drives (USB 2.0) .
Note: This method can be used to make a hard disk or external hard disk (USB 3.0)
bootable as well.
5. Once the process is completed, connect the USB drive to one of your clients then let it
boot, once at desktop install CCBoot Client, and upload the image.
Note: You can connect the USB drive to all the different hardware specifications and
install their drivers, and once done, upload the image.
www.ccboot.com
Using VMware to Create Boot Image

VMware is a virtual machine software. You can use VMware to create a CCBoot boot image.
1. Install VMware Workstation on a computer.
2. Create a virtual machine in VMware.
3. Install Windows system in the virtual machine, named it as "Windows 10 x64" and
optimize the system if it’s necessary.
4. Install the CCBoot Client software and then restart.
5. Shutdown virtual machine.
6. Open the virtual machine settings, click the "Hardware" tab, and click on “Hard disk
(NVMe), the disk file location will be under “Disk File” section (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
7. Click the "Options" tab, the section "Working directory" will show the directory location of
the virtual disk. Here it’s "D:\Windows 10 x64" (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
8. In the CCBootCloud panel, click the “Image” tab and then click “+” button and browse to
the directory "D:\Windows 10 x64" and select the “Windows 10 x64.vmdk” file and click
“Select” button.
9. Now, you can use the image as a boot image directly.
Note: We recommend using "VMDK2VHD" to convert vmdk to vhd file and using the VHD as the
boot image. Please refer to "Convert VMDK to VHD".

How to create USB for diskless booting client?
Sometimes, the client's NIC doesn't have a PXE chipset but we still want a diskless boot with
that NIC. We can use USB to boot the client, load the PXE code from USB and then diskless
boot from the server.
1) Insert a USB in the server machine.
2) Click the "Tools" menu.
3) Select "Create USB". It will popup "Create Bootable USB" dialog box.
Figure 2
www.ccboot.com
4) You can select the USB drive letter and click the "Create" button.
Notes: Because most of the up-to-date onboard NICs support PXE boot, we DO NOT
recommend using this method for diskless booting. For this method, it only supports several old
network cards, such as some earlier Realtek NIC.
Create Child Disk: You can use this function to create a child disk (differencing vhd) for your
parent image (main image).
Figure 3
1. Click the " >> " button to select your parent disk (main image).

2nd Server: The IP address of the 2nd boot server if you have a load balance server running.
PXE: Specified PXE file name. The default value can support most of the network card.
Note: It would be better to use "ipxe.pxe", but if you cannot diskless boot the client via using
"ipxe.pxe", you can try to change the PXE value to "ipxex.pxe". If this doesn't work, please
modify the value to "ipxe0.pxe". If Realtek 8111E NIC has a blue screen problem, you can try to
change the PXE value to "ipxe.pxe".
www.ccboot.com
Hardware Profile: To set the client hardware configuration profile.
Change Display: If your client has multiple monitors, the resolutions can be set up for each
individual client's resolutions. The 1st is "Resolution" and the 2nd is "Refresh Rate". All fields
need to be filled in order for it to be applied properly.
You may choose them using the drop-down menu (we keep adding more resolutions) or
manually input a custom resolution and other settings. The settings will not be applied and the
field will default to blank if any of the fields are empty.
Enable Cache: Setting the memory to use as a client cache depends on the client's memory
size. Example: client RAM is 2GB; you can set the 256M to be used as a cache.
Local Writeback : Writeback in local is used when you have an HDD/SSD on your client but
want to boot from CCBoot and do not want to use the local HDD for OS or games. This helps to
reduce the load on the writeback disk on the server as well.
www.ccboot.com
Client cache
Client cache is simply RAM cache for client PC which uses client's RAM to cache read/write
data. When the client cache gets full, it will be flushed to the server as writeback data to the
writeback disk. In this way, client cache provides better performance for the diskless client and
also reduces the load on server writeback disk.
Steps to enable client cache:

1. Go to the boot page from CP of iCafeCloud and Computers page respectively. Then right
click on the PC and select “Edit pc” (Figure 1).
Figure 2
2. Check the checkbox "Enable Cache". You can either select using the drop-down menu or
enter value manually and click on the “Ok” button (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Please refer to the following table.
Client Physical RAM Client Cache
1 GB 256 MB
2 GB 384 MB
4 GB 512 MB
8 GB 1024 MB
16 GB 2048 MB
Notes:
www.ccboot.com
1. You can set Client local cache to auto; this will automatically set the local cache based
on the amount of RAM available. This also gives you a slight boost in boot speed as well
as client performance.
2. If you have more than 16GB RAM in client then you can set 2048 MB or set it to auto.
Any lower, do not use auto in Client Cache.
Client local writeback cache

To enable local writeback using the client's HDD/SSD, just check this option in client's edit
option (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Note:
1.Your local HDD/SSD need to be formatted for this option to work.
2. Writeback in local HDD is used when you have an HDD/SSD on your client but want to boot
from CCBoot and do not want to use local HDD for OS or games. This helps to reduce load on
the writeback disk on the server as well.
3. If you use the local writeback function you anyway should have at least one disk for
writeback on the server-side 120-250GB, because until the client PC is not booted it will use
writeback on the server-side.
www.ccboot.com
4. It is ok if your local writeback file has 0 size in explorer. You can open properties to see the
right size.
5. CCBootClient will use the first disk on the client side for local writeback.
Important : Before you enable the local writeback function, make sure that you have
HDD/SSD in your client PC; it has only one partition and is formatted in a 32K Allocation
unit. Else you may experience client restart or freezing.
Configure multiple boot images

We developed a Multi Operating System Boot to meet market demand. Multi OS Boot is a
selection of more than one operating system to start from the same client. Any customers can
choose their operating system such as Windows 7 and Windows 10 Operating Systems in the
same server at the same time.
Multi boot system can be done with a simple selection of boot images in the client properties as
follow:
1. Add several images in the “Image” Page. Refer to Add boot Image.
2. Go to the boot page from CP of iCafeCloud and Computers page respectively. Then
right click on the PC and select “Edit pc” (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
3. Select multiple images and click on the “Ok” button (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
4. Now boot the client, use the arrow keys to select the Operating System and press enter
key (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3

Power control
To control the power option of the client from the server, follow the steps below:
1. Go to the “Boot” page, click on the “Computers ” tab.
2. Then right click on the PC you want to control; hover on the “”Power control” option and
select the action you want on the client PCs like power on, shutdown, logoff, reboot and
hibernate (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Remote control
To control the clients remotely, follow these steps:
1. Go to the “Boot” page, click on the “Computers ” tab.
2. Then right click on the PC you want to control; hover on the “”Remote control” option and
select the action you want on the client PCs (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Remote Control : Allow you to remote control your client through VNC.
Remote Monitor : Allows you to remotely monitor your client’s usage without hindering their
experience.
Note: The remote control and monitor will work only on the local server side.
Super client
If you want to make some changes on client OS or on game disk from client side, you can use
the option “Enable super client”.
Important:
1. Before you enable super clients for any computer, please make sure that you have
enough space free in the "Image Disk". To be safe, have at least 10-20 GB free.
2. When you disable super clients but your changes are not saving, then you need to
unmount any virtual hard disk attached to the server.
The issue is caused when you accidentally mounted the image file on the server but did
not unmount it from the disk management.
www.ccboot.com
3. Some games require graphics drivers to be installed before you are able to run the game
installer. So, make sure the graphics drivers are installed first
4. On super client mode, we recommend to use incognito mode only on browsers or if you
do not use incognito mode, clean history and cookies before saving changes on image.
5. Before saving the changes in the image, reboot the client once and check if it is booting
properly. If you have installed drivers or other apps, it may cause issues on booting or
BSOD.
Taking the client PC101 as an example, the operation steps are as follows:
Note: When you have placed the client in super client mode, the client cache will be disabled
and will not be enabled until you have disabled super client and saved the image and booted
the client in normal mode
1. Go to the boot page from CP of iCafeCloud and Computers page respectively. Then
right click on the PC and select “Enable superclient” (Figure 1).
Figure 1
www.ccboot.com
2. In the pop-up "CCBoot Select Disk" dialogue box, tick the disks you want to update and
then click OK (Figure 2).
Note: Only check the image disk if you want to make changes to the boot image. And
tick the game disk as well if you want to install/update games from the client PC.
Figure 2
3. After you have selected the disks and clicked ok the client name will change to
red(Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
4. After you have selected the disks, boot the client and install/update it. After you are
finished shutdown the client.
5. On the server right click the client “PC101” and choose ”Disable Super Client” Option
(Figure 4).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
6. Enter the description and click on the “Ok” button (Figure 5).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
Note:
1. Enabling the Super Client on Game Disk in the client PCs is not recommended,
this is prone to affect with the virus. Since some of the customers are inserting a
USB flash drive on the client PC, hence you have to avoid it.
But if you still wanted to Super Client the Game Disk always, We recommend
preparing separate PC just for the game update purposes and then follow this
method CCBoot Used As Virtual Disk erver
2. If the game icons are not showing up properly then please re configure the
server and re set the SSD cache once to make the icons.
3. If you have placed any client PC in superclient, then other clients may
experience slow loading of games as well as boot time increased. To fix it, finish
super client and disabled it as soon.
www.ccboot.com
4. Please note that when you have to put a game disk in super client mode, it will
be locked in the server to prevent the content from being changed. Which may
lead to the game file getting corrupted. Once you are done with the super client
and have disabled it, the game disk will be accessible on server once again.
5. If you cannot enable superclient for game disk, check if it is not used by pagefile
and please use the system disk for pagefile.
Keep writeback function

Keep writeback function permits to save the writeback file for image and game disk after reboot.
You have to reboot your pc after enabling it to work.
You can enable it from the PC page (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Disk management
This tab allows you to set disk roles on the CCBoot server. Click on the “Disks” tab to access it.
Disk configuration
1. Click on the unused disk and specify what type of disk this will be. There are four
options: Unused, Game, Image, Write back, and SSD. Here, we choose D: as an Image
disk(Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Note: When you change the disk type, the corresponding disk’s name will be changed to
reflect the disk type.
2. Now the disk is set as an Image disk. Now let’s setup disk cache. On the RAM Cache
field, enter desired RAM cache value for the disk. Press “OK” to apply the settings
(Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Note: Only a game disk can have SSD Cache option available.
3. Similarly, set Game disk, Image disk and its cache (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
4. If you have an SSD you can set it, like other disks. For SSD, there is no need for RAM
Cache so it is not available (Figure 4).
Figure 4
Note: If you forget to set either the writeback disk and/or image disk then by default it
will use C: as image disk during upload and writeback disk for clients.
Disk cache settings

We are using the Ram for disk cache.
RAM read write speeds are over 5GB/s while normal SSD can barely reach 200-500 MB/s. So,
using RAM for caching once the files have been read into the RAM cache, subsequent access
to the same files is really fast and makes game load as well as client boot faster.
There are SSD that have read speed over 2GBps but they are very expensive, thus using RAM
as cache is both economical as well as providing better performance.
If you cannot use SSD for a game disk, you can use a hard disk +SSD cache.
Recommended cache settings

www.ccboot.com
If server have 8 GB memory:

Cache Setting Memory Cache SSD Cache (256 GB)
Image disk 1024 MB -
Writeback disk 1024 MB -
Game Disk 4096 MB 200 GB


If you want to know if ram cache is working you can test it via Crystal mark
you also see your motherboard if running in SATA 3gbps or 6gbps speed
Here is the image when you test without ram cache sample image disk click "all" button.
www.ccboot.com
After applying 1024 ram cache on the image disk click the "all" button and wait for the result.
Note:
● If you have more than 20 users then consider having two Writeback Disks
www.ccboot.com
● New version of CCBoot does not require SSD Cache for Image Disk and Writeback
Disks
● Please refer to “Disk Management” to set up disk cache according to above.
● There is no need to set more than 2048 MB Cache for Writeback disk.
● If you have 2 or more Writeback disks, set 2048 MB cache to them as well.
● For the image disk, set 2048 MB for every image you have. if you have 2 images then
set 2 x 2048 MB cache.
● Nowadays, 256 GB is the minimum SSD available on the market. So, If you have more
than one game disk then divide the SSD cache by number of disk (if 2 disks then set 100
GB SSD Cache each, if 3 then, about 70 GB each)
● Never set 100% of SSD size as SSD cache.
● If you are using a Samsung SSD disk then follow as above and then set the cache,
however if you are using any other brand then please reduce the writeback disk RAM
Cache to 1024 MB only. Other disk has lower read/write speeds than Samsung so for
writeback disk better to use less Cache as it makes it faster to dump to the disk
● When your server is turned on for the first time and your clients boot and load games
then the idle % for the game disk will be low and can reach 0% idle. This is normal as
the server does not have any cache in RAM at first.
● If you are using NVMe SSD then format the SSD to a 32K allocation unit to get best
performance, any other allocation unit the performance was found to be less than on
32K allocation unit.
Important:
If the cache is not working after you have set it then do the following.
1. Restart the server. After restart the CCBoot service will start at startup and make the
cache work.
2. If the above does not make Cache work, then re-install the CCBoot and then reboot the
server once.

from the image disk to free space. You should never delete recovery point files manually in the
image disk instead click “Merge all” safely remove them from the disk and recovery list.
Merge to Last: Merge the last restore point to the one ahead of it. For more details, please
refer to "Merge Image". Please note that there is no way to undo the “Merge to last”. So make
sure you do it only if your image is booting on all pcs and working correctly.
Restore to Last: Revert the image to the last restore point state.
www.ccboot.com
Merge image
Before merging Image please disable super client and unmount Image. Then:
1. Go to the “Boot” page on the cloud panel, click on the “Image” tab. Then, right click on
the image you want to merge and click on the “Disk restore” option (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. Then you will have two choices, click on the “Merge to last” which will only merge one
restore point at a time or “Merge all” which safely delete the entries in the “Disk restore”
list and delete all the restore points from the Image disk (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Important:
● Once you “Merge all” the recovery points, you will not be able to restore the image to
previous as the entries for restore points and the restore points files will be deleted.
● You should only merge all if your image is booting properly on all of your computers.
● You should merge all after you have 5-10 restore points, so that your image disk does
not get full.
● You should never put a client in superclient mode if your image disk is almost full. Merge
all first to free space before doing superclient on a client

CCBoot Server Ports
CCBoot uses the following ports - 67 (DHCP), 69 (TFTP), 3260 (iSCSI), 1000 (Image
Upload),8001 (Service Control). Please open these ports on the server firewall to make sure the
client PC can diskless boot successfully. For CCBoot v3.0, you also need to open port 66. v3.0
using port 66 as DHCP backup. And after v3.0 20130871,CCBoot uses port 4011 instead of port
66 as DHCP backup.
Note: In order to make sure that client's PCs can diskless boot well, please shut down the other
DHCP services on the LAN, especially the DHCP service in the router. You can be rest assured
that after you disabled other DHCP services on the LAN, it will not affect other computers'
connecting to the Internet, because CCBoot will provide DHCP service which could also be
used by the computers which boot from HDD.
www.ccboot.com
Set admin password

Why set an admin password?
1. To lock CCBoot UI.
You can lock the CCBoot UI to prevent unauthorized personnel from making any
changes to the settings and configuration of the server and clients. And the admin
password is used to unlock it, to make changes by authorized personnel.
2. To use "Enable Superclient" and "Disable Superclient" function in CCBoot client.

In the recent version, we have made it so that you can enable or disable the super client
right from the client pc so you don't need to come back to the server to save the
changes. The admin password is needed to be entered when you click either of the
buttons to use the corresponding function, failure to enter the correct password will
prevent it.
3. Upload image to server.

You don't have to allow a client to upload an image, any client can be used to upload an
image. But to prevent unauthorized users/personnel from uploading images randomly
and filling up the image disk, the admin password prevents the action as the function will
not execute without entering the correct password.
Steps to set an Admin Password:

1. Go to the Boot page from the cp of iCafeCloud, click on the “Settings” tab and “Edit”
button respectively (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
2. Set the admin password in the “Admin password” field and click on the “Ok” button

Game fixes
When you install games on the server side, please choose the installation path to the game
disk. But some games still write some files on the system disk, so a client-side game will be
shown as not installed or required to update. We added a function that can fix some games like
games from Epic Launcher, Origin games (Apex, Battlefield V and Battlefield 1) and CoD Mobile
(Gameloop launcher).
After games are fixed, you can update games on the server directly.
Please follow these steps to enable fixes:

1. Install games and launchers only on the game disk.
2. Close all launchers/games (Origin, Origin helper, Epic Launcher etc.) processes using
task manager before adding fixes.
3. Go to the “Settings” tab, click on the “Game fixes” button (button with joystick icon,
Figure 1).
Figure 1
4. Click on the “Add” button (Figure 2).

Important: After driver installation is done, you have to restart the client PC once
and check if any driver issues.
6. If everything is ok then, turn off the client pc.

7. Lastly, disable super client and save the image.
Notes:
1. Please keep in mind that since hardware profiles store drivers in separate folders for
each profile the boot time for different specs clients will be different and not always the
same. Some may take longer than a normal image to boot.
2. If after using hardware profile you are experiencing Blue screen issue and driver
installing again and again, then we recommend in using separate images for the clients.
Also, if you are using Windows 7, then please consider upgrading to Windows 10 as it
has better hardware support for new boards and computer specs then on Windows 7.
3. If your PCs config have similar types of motherboards and Graphics cards like : GTX
750, GTX 1060, GTX 1070 etc. In this case you can try using one image without profiles.
So please follow the steps below:
a. Install Graphics card driver on PC with GTX 750, reboot it and save changes.
www.ccboot.com
b. Enable super client for any PC with GTX 1060 and turn it on, reboot it once and
check if the Graphics card driver is installed, if everything is fine, save changes.
c. Enable super client for any PC with GTX 1070 and turn it on, reboot it once and
check if the Graphics card driver is installed, if everything is fine, save changes.

hardwares they already have without much knowledge on the mining field.The setup of
mining is just a few clicks as we will show below.
1. Go to the “Mining” page and click the “Configure mining” button (Figure 1).
Figure 1
● Mining feature in CCbootCloud is disabled by default.If you want to enable it then you
need to contact our support team to activate the mining feature on your CCBootCloud
license. Otherwise you cannot start mining (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
● Create a USDT wallet in Binance and send the wallet id to our support staff.
(ex: 0xb5348527b64598ff454e787987aa0b989445f1 )
● Make sure the wallet is USDT and send it correctly as there is no refund option in crypto
wallets
Steps to create the binance account and create wallet can be found here
Once the mining has been activated follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Make sure your CCBootcloud client is updated to the latest version.
2. Afterwards, go to the “Mining” page and click the “Mining configure” button at the top
right (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
www.ccboot.com
3. Select the PCs that you want to enable for mining and check the mining tool. Available
options for miners are Quickminer ,NBminer and Gminer (Figure 4).
● Quickminer is used for Nvidia GPUs only with more than 6gb vram and mining
Ethereum.
● NBminer is used for both Nvidia LHR and AMD, can support GPUs with 4+gb
vram and will auto-mine the most profitable crypto at that time based on GPUs
performance.(ETH,RVN,etc)
○ “We suggest using the NBminer auto mining if your cards are LHR
(Lock hashrate) if not better use the Quickminer”
● Gminer is used also for Nvidia, Amd and LHR,can support 4+gb GPUs and will
auto-mine the most profitable crypto at that time. The different from NBimer is
that you can use parameters to overclock manually your GPUs (This option is
suggested for more advanced users)
Figure 4
4. After that, restart or boot the PCs and the mining function will be activated.
5. PCs start mining automatically only if they are IDLE for 5 minutes or more and stop
mining automatically once the mouse is moved or a user starts playing games.
6. The mining will resume again after the user stop playing games and is idle for more than
5 minutes.
www.ccboot.com
Note :
The miner can only work with WIN10 and Driver version newer than 461.33
Once the PCs start mining, you can see the details of mining from the “Mining” page as shown
below (Figure 5).
Figure 5
1. USD amount as profit of this month.

2. USD amount as profit in the last 24 hours.

Parameters
This feature is added for the miner enthusiast that can Overclock the GPUs manually.
1. Quickminer - already has overclock for low power mining in ETH algo
2. NBminer - is not using overclock as default you can use the parameters below
● --temperature-limit, --tl <temp-limit> Set temperature limit of GPU, if exceeds, stop GPU.
www.ccboot.com
● --temperature-start, --ts <temp-start> Set cool-down temperature target if GPU is

stopped by temperature-limit, default to <temp-limit> - 5.
● --enable-igpu AMD iGPU is disabled by default, set this option to enable.
● -lhr <value> Partially unlock hashrate for Nvidia LHR GPUs. [-1, 100].
0: auto, -1: off. Others: set to 60 means trying to reach 60% of nonlocked max hashrate.
3. Gminer - Its not using overclock as default you can use the parameters below
● --fan - space-separated list of fan speed for each device in percents (range from 0 to
100, 0 - ignore) (for example: '60 0 90')
● --pl - space-separated list of power limits for each device in percents (range from 0 to
100 for Nvidia GPUs and -50 - 50 for AMD GPUs, 0 - ignore)(for example: '30 0 50')
● --cclock - space-separated list of core clock offsets (for Nvidia GPUs) or absolute core
clocks (for AMD GPUs) for each device in MHz (0 - ignore), (for example: '100 0 -90')
● --mclock - space-separated list of memory clock offsets (for Nvidia GPUs) or absolute
memory clocks (for AMD GPUs) for each device in MHz (0 - ignore) (for example: '100 0

● --lock_voltage - space-separated list of locked voltage points for each device in mV (0 -
ignore),(for example: '900 0 1000')
● --lock_cclock - space-separated list of locked core clock point for each device in MHz (0
- ignore), only Nvidia GPUs are supported. (for example: '1200 0 1500')
● --tfan_min - space-separated list of minimal fan speed (0 - ignore) for tfan option(for
example: '30 0 35')
● --tfan_max - space-separated list of maximal fan speed (0 - ignore) for tfan option(for

Example for 3060TI:

Low profile = “--cclock -400 --mclock 1800 --pl 60 --fan 70” (70%fan or more/less based
on your temps.)
Medium profile = “--cclock -400 --mclock 2200 --pl 60 --fan 75” (75%fan or more/less
based on your temps.)
High profile = “--cclock -400 --mclock 2600 --pl 65 --fan 80” (80%fan or more/less based
on your temps.)
You can do you own configuration based on your GPUS as each models are different
and can give different hashrate based on configurations
Here you can find the link for a website with actual Overclock settings
www.hashrate.no/3060ti replace the 3060ti at the end of the link with your card model
for easier search
Use the parameters in the mining options field (Figure 1).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Performance
● We have Overclocked profiles in Quickminer for each GPU model for efficient and easy
mining as sometimes the GPU configuration needs to be carefully touched by the
amateur users.
It's working as auto-configured each time the PCs start mining to get the best
optimization.
● The profiles are not configured to work in 100% of GPUs power to protect and also to be
ready for gaming when customers are using it.
For example: An 3060ti non LHR can do 58-59Mhs at 113-124w of power and with 58c
temperature with our miner.(Figure 1)
Enthusiast miners can push the GPU more than 60 Mhs.
Figure 1
www.ccboot.com
How it works
● CCBootCloud miner is mining ETH and gets rewarded in BTC because the market goes
up and down all the time.
● Our system will auto sell BTC to USDT once they have been mined more than
0.0005BTC (USDT is a stable crypto with a value price of 1$).
●
Payout Rules:
Payout will be once a month if the amount is 100$ or more and will skip to the next
payout till it reaches 100$. (This can happen in case you have very small hashrate
power or you are not mining most of the hours of the day).
This rule is about Binance wallets “we suggest to create a wallet in Binance”, other
wallets may have additional transfer fees that we will not cover and can be update for
the fee at the payout day only,transfer fees change everyday.
● We will send “USDT” to your wallet on the 10th day of every month. For example : if you
have 5000$ actual balance in your panel and it's still August we will send the 5000$ on
10th of September into your wallet).
● The mining function includes a 10% fee on the profits that is used for pool fees, transfer
fees and our services.
● Everything will be transparent and will be easy to track by Logs.
● The USD amount in the mining panel of iCafeCloud will be updated every 4-5 hours.
● Everything will be transparent, we want an easier and fair process for all.
Logs
● Mining logs is to make the all process more transparent which includes date/time,
description and the amount. Click the “Logs” tab for checking logs (Figure 1).
● The logs show the BTC amount has been mined and in what value have been converted
to USDT.
● The update of the logs will be done every 4-5 hours.

Advanced configuration
Single server multi NICs load balance
Let us suppose CCBoot Server has two network cards with ip addresses 192.168.100.114 and
192.168.100.113. We can make use of both NIC to boot the client and balance the load on both
NIC so that the client performs better.
www.ccboot.com
To do so follow the steps below:

1. Go to the DHCP settings and select “0.0.0.0” in the DHCP server IP (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. Go to the Computers page, select half of the PCs, and then right click and choose “Edit
PC” option (Figure 2).
Figure 2
3. Check the checkbox next to the “1st Server” check box then enter one of the IP
addresses in the “1st Server” field then on the “2nd Server” field enter the other IP
address, and then click the “OK” button (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
4. Similarly, select the other half of the PC and choose “Edit PC” (Figure 4).
5. Then, check the checkbox next to the “1st Server” check box then enter the IP address
in reverse order (2nd IP on the 1st Server and 1st IP on the 2nd Server) (Figure 5).
www.ccboot.com
6. Now, turn on the PCs, and you will notice that clients are using both of your NICs to boot
from CCBootCloud.
Note:
1. When configured like this, If the 1st IP address is not available then the client will boot
from the second IP address and vice versa.
2. If you have 3 or 4 NIC, then you can split the PC into 4 groups and set the IP in order.
3. 1st group will use - 1st and 2nd IP, 2nd group will use - 2nd and 3rd IP, 3rd group will
use - 3rd and 4th IP and 4th group will use - 4th and 1st IP address as boot server IPs.
4. For one NIC, setting a gateway and for other NICs setting IP is enough.
Multiple servers load balance

If there are two or several CCBoot servers, you can do multiple server load balance.
Follow the steps below:
1. Set the server IP addresses like we do in Single server multi NICs load balance.
2. Open CCBoot installation directory of 1st server and copy two files of "CCBoot.ini" and
"db.xml" on a USB drive.
3. Then import those files to the 2nd server using import to cloud function.
4. Now your two servers will be in load balance setup.
Note:
1. If you wish to use a load balance server then you can use just one license.
To do that you have to reset the license on the primary server and put it to the second
server.
www.ccboot.com
2. You cannot use the same license on both servers.
Client OS system optimization

1. Boot a client in super client mode and then open CCBootClient application.
2. Click on the "Additional Option" button.
3. On the "Additional Option" window, check the "System Optimization" checkbox, then
click the "OK" button (Figure 1).
Figure 1
4. CCBoot will optimize the Windows automatically, After the process is complete, turn off
the client PC and save the image.
5. The client should perform better than before.
Note:
The above steps are better to perform before uploading the image.
This feature will disable some services like Windows Updates, Defragmentation, Windows
Defender and other services which are not needed for the normal gaming PC.

Server NIC teaming

If you have more than 1 NIC on the server, we recommend teaming them so that you will get the
maximum throughput from your server to clients. When teaming the NICs, choose "Adaptive
Load Balancing" to use all available network bandwidth.
When you have more than 20-30 clients, it is recommended that you use two or more NICs. So,
to use them with one IP address, you need to team them. Here is how you can do it.
For Windows server 2012 R2 and above:
Refer Setting up NIC Teaming for Windows Server 2012*/2012 R2*/2016* video for teaming
steps.
For Windows 7, Windows server 2008 and windows 10
Teaming on windows 10 is working on Intel drivers until the version 22.01, but this version has
been deleted from the Intel site. Therefore, teaming is not working on windows 10 anymore.
In windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, you need to have at least one Intel NIC to be able to
team your NICs.
If you do not have Intel NIC then you need to use Windows Server 2012 as it has native NIC
teaming and does not rely on Intel Adapter.
Before you team your NIC, please optimize all of the NICs that will be in the team. You will not
be able to optimize them individually once they are teamed.
1. Right click on your “Intel NIC” network and click the properties (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
2. On the NIC properties window, click the “Configure” button (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
3. Now click the "Teaming" tab and check the "Team this adapter with other adapters"
checkbox and click the "New Team..." button (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
4. New Team Wizard will open, type a name for the new team and click the "Next" button
(Figure 4).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
5. You will be prompted to select the NICs that will be part of the team. Check the NICs you
want and then click the "Next" button (Figure 5).
Figure 5
www.ccboot.com
6. Now you need to choose the type of teaming you want to use. Select "Adaptive Load
Balancing" (as it uses the bandwidth of all NICs, and if one of the NIC fails, the team will
still work with reduced speed) and click the "Next" button (Figure 6).
Figure 6
7. Click the "Finish" button and wait for the process to complete (Figure 7).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 7
8. Once a team is created, its properties will open. Optimize the new Teamed NIC like
other NICs.
9. You also need to set the static IP for the team.
10. Once the IP has been set you need to change the "Boot Server IP" on the CCBoot
DHCP (In new versions, this will be automatically done).
Things to keep in mind in teaming
1. If your teaming is not showing full speed - example 4 x 1gbps = 4gbps but shows 3.0
gbps, this means one of the NIC cable is not working.
You need to replace the cable or re-crimp a new RJ45 jack to the cable.
2. If your teaming fails to complete, then uninstall the Intel driver and reinstall it and try to
team again. Always install the latest NIC drivers before attempting to team the NICs.
3. For teaming to work in Windows 2008, Windows 7 or Windows 10, You need to have at
least 1 Intel NIC otherwise you won't be able to team the NICs.
4. If you are using Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher, then you can natively team the
NICs from the Server manager. Refer to How to configure NIC Teaming on Windows
Server 2012
Set the DHCP client

When the client is uploading images, if the value of "DHCP Enable" in the dialog box of
"Network Connection Details" is "Yes", then you do not need to do the following settings (Figure
1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
If the value of "DHCP Enable" in the "Network Connection Details" dialog box is "NO", you need
to do the following adjustments:
1. Use "super client" to diskless boot a client.
2. Confirm if the client DHCP service is on.
3. Click the "Start", type "services.msc" in the "Run" edit box, and then press enter.

Antivirus mode on server

We do not recommend using antivirus software on servers in automatic mode.
If you want to use any antivirus, you should install the software and then disable it, for example
windows defender setting (Figure 1).
Figure 1
You can run scans when you do not have customers. You can just choose any scan option and
then click on "Scan now" (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Note: If you use automatic scan, it can start lagging when customers are playing.
Write-back disk optimization

Follow the steps below to optimize your writeback disk:
1. Enable the client cache.

2. When you have more than 20/30 computers then one write-back disk is not enough. We
recommend using two or more write-back disks.
3. If you have multiple disk for writeback disks then check if they are set properly in the
Disk tab in Boot page. If they are not set then set it. Refer to Disk configure.
4. If you have 2 writeback disks and your clients are still lagging then increase your
writeback disk cache. (1024 – 3072 MB is recommended cache per Writeback disk).
www.ccboot.com
5. We recommend using SSD for writeback disk, as it has higher read/write speed and can
handle large numbers of read/writes compared to traditional HDD.
6. If you already have an SSD on each PC then you can use it as a local writeback disk so
that it will improve performance.
7. When you choose a disc for writeback look at IOPS for random write, it should be at
least 80K-90K.
For example: We recommend the SSD Samsung EVO 850 (or EVO 860) for writeback
because it has IOPS up to 90K for random write.
IOPS for random write is one of the main performance indicators of SSD for diskless
systems, since one disk is simultaneously used by several clients and they write (and
read) data from different parts of the disk at the same time. i.e. the more operations per
second can make the SDD the higher the data rate.
8. Check whether there is any program which is doing a lot of read/write on the disk. If
there is, you need to find it and stop its service.
9. If you are using Windows 7, check whether it is installed with the latest patches. If not,
please install the latest patches in your Windows 7.
10. Your clients may have idle time disk defragmentation scheduled and running when pc
becomes idle.
To fix this, you need to delete the scheduled task in client PC in super client mode.
a. Run Command Prompt as administrator

b. Run the command :- schtasks /Delete /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Defrag\
ScheduledDefrag" /F
This will delete the defragmentation schedule and help elevate the writeback idle issue.
Additional options in CCBoot client

There is a button for additional options in the CCBoot client (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
The options are as follows:
1. System Optimization: This will disable services that are not required for Windows
operations and can be safely disabled. If you want to restore this point, just use the
"Restore Optimization" button and then restart the client PC
2. Hide Disks: This option just will hide disks from This PC. If you want to restore this point,
just use the "Restore Optimization" button and then restart the client PC.
3. Enable USB Write Protection: This will disable the ability to copy files to the USB drives.
4. Memdisk for Temp File :

www.ccboot.com
Enable USB write protection using CCBoot

CCBoot client application has an option that allows you to enable USB write protection for your
client PC, preventing any user from unauthorized copy of data from your client computers.
Here is how you can do it.
1. Boot your client in "Super client" mode, and then open CCBoot client application.
2. On the "CCBootClient" window, click the "Optimize OS" button.
3. Then check the "Enable USB write protection" checkbox and click the "OK" button (Figure 1).
Figure 1
4. Restart the client computer and check if you can write on your USB.
5. Once confirmed, turn off the client PC and save the image.
Make wake on LAN work

There are many times when Wake On Lan (WOL) does not work on clients. Learn how to make
it work.
In new motherboards there is a setting “EuP 2013” which will turn off LAN when you shut down
your computer if it is enabled. So, you need to disable “EuP 2013” in the bios.
www.ccboot.com
Disabling this function will keep the LAN port enabled when the system is put in S3 or S5.
1. In the BIOS click the “Advanced” tab and choose “Power Management Setup” and open
it (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. In “Power Management Setup”, highlight the “EuP 2013” option and click the “Enter” key
and choose “Disabled” and press enter again (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
3. Now “EuP 2013” is disabled (Figure 3).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
4. Now, highlight and open “Wake Up Event Setup” from “Advanced” tab (Figure 4).
Figure 4
5. In “Wake Up Event Setup”, highlight “Resume By PCI-E Device” or “Wake on PCI-E”,

and choose “Enabled” on pop up and press the “Enter” key (Figure 5).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
6. Now, “Resume By PCI-E Device” is enabled (Figure 6). Note: if you do not enable this
then, you cannot wake your clients from LAN.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 6
Note: Some motherboards do not have "Resume By PCI-E" instead have PME, hence you need
to enable the "Enable PME" option to make wake on LAN work (Figure 6-a).
Figure 6-a
7. Now, boot your client PC in super client mode and then install the latest NIC driver for
your motherboard’s NIC (Do not skip).
8. Now, open network properties, and then click the “Power Management” tab, there check
all checkboxes (Figure 7).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 7
Note: Usually all NIC drivers have enabled WOL but this latest option (highlighted in green) is
always disabled, so WOL does not work. To make WOL work, must enable this option.
9. Now, click the “Advanced” tab and then enable the three options, “Wake on Magic
Packet”, “Wake on Pattern Match” and “Shutdown Wake-On-Lan” (Figure 8).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 8
Note: Some NIC have , “Green Ethernet” or “Energy Efficient Ethernet” if they are present
please disable them as well.
10. Then run CCBootPNP.exe, press "Collect local NIC" and "Merge Collected NIC"
respectively (Figure 9).
Figure 9
www.ccboot.com
11. Finally turn off the PC, disable super client mode and save changes.
In Short you need to do the following changes.
In the motherboard BIOS:

- LAN Option ROM = Enabled (this is required for diskless booting)
- EuP 2013 = Disabled
- Resume by PCI-E device = Enabled
In Windows, under power management:
- Allow this device to wake the computer = ON
- Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer = ON
In Windows, under advanced:

- Energy Efficient Ethernet = Disabled
- Shutdown Wake Up = Enabled
- Wake on Magic Packet = Enabled
Set up your network for CCBootCloud

We all have set up the CCBootCloud server and clients many times but we did not get it right
the first time. So, refer to our simple layout diagram for CCBootCloud to set it up and network
right at once.
You can use the following layouts as your base to set up your network for CCBootCloud.
Case 1: CCBootCloud server with just 1 NIC (Total 1.0 Gbps).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Case 2: CCBootCloud server with 2 NICs in teaming (Total 2.0 Gbps).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
www.ccboot.com
Case 3: CCBootCloud server with 4 NICs in teaming (Total 4.0 Gbps
Figure 3
Case 4: CCBootCloud server with 2 switches and 4 NICs in teaming (Total 4.0 Gbps).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
Notes:
2 cables in LACP mode allows each switch user to be able to share 4.0 Gbps of bandwidth
between 2 switches. DO NOT use more than 1 cable without LACP between the switches.
You can use 1 cable between the switches if you do not have a manageable switch however
max usable bandwidth for clients will be 3.0 Gbps only.
Case 5: Two CCBootCloud servers with 2 switches with 4 NICs teaming on each server.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
Notes:
DO NOT use more than 1 cable without LACP between the switches.
Case 6: Two CCBootCloud servers with 2 switches with 10 Gbps NICs each server.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 6
Notes:
The switches should have at least 2 x 10gbps ports (can be sfp or RJ45).
Use this layout when you have more than 100 PCs in the same location.
Difference between CCBootCloud and CCDisk

CCBootCloud is a cloud based diskless solution for your computers while CCDisk is a virtual
game disk server application.
www.ccboot.com
CCDisk has similar functions as CCBootCloud but is limited for making game disk diskless.
So, the major differences between CCBootCloud and CCDisk are:
1. CCDisk cannot boot clients diskless only provides game disk.
2. CCDisk requires a smaller number of disks than CCBootCloud (CCDisk does not need
image disk and separate writeback disk).
3. CCDisk required less RAM than CCBootCloud, a 32GB CCDisk server is enough for 100
PCs.

Disable flow control before teaming

Flow control is the management of data flow between computers or devices or between nodes
in a network so that the data can be handled at an efficient pace. Too much data arriving before
a device can handle it causes data overflow, meaning the data is either lost or must be
retransmitted.
Flow control of NIC plays a vital role in a diskless solution, as if flow control is enabled in NIC
properties. Then it slows the rate at which the client gets data from the server. Typically, this
would not make the performance worse, but when you have multiple NIC and you team them
then flow control makes the link excessively slow if its enabled.
Issue:
We team NIC to remove the bottleneck of single NIC throughput, however if you team them
without disabling the flow control and optimize the NIC . Then, after NIC teaming clients will still
boot slow, games will still lag.
Solution:
Disable flow control of each NIC and optimize them before you team them.
To disable flow control, refer below
1. Right-click your network controller and go to "Properties".
2. Go to the "Advanced" tab.
3. Locate "Flow Control" in the list.
4. Set the value to "Disabled."
Assign game disk to clients based on user group

In version 20170120 we have added a function to allow one or more game disks to be assigned
to clients based on the user groups they belong to, providing you freedom of choice to which
group gets which game disk or no game disk at all.
Before you proceed, you need to have created user groups and assigned the clients to
respective groups.
1. Now that you have your user groups. Open the "Game disk" properties by double clicking the
game disk (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
2. By default the game disk will be assigned to All user groups, meaning the game disk is
available for all user groups and clients (Figure 2)
Figure 2
www.ccboot.com
3. Click the User Group drop down, and choose the User Group you want to assign the Game
Disk to (Figure 3).
Figure 3
4. Once the group is chosen, click OK to save the changes (Figure 4).
Figure 4
www.ccboot.com
5. If you have a game disk that you want to be assigned to another user group then repeat 2 - 4
steps and choose the user group (Figure 4).
Figure 5
6. In doing this, now the game disk will only appear on the clients that are in user groups to
which the game disk is assigned to.
Notes: If you want a game disk to be available for all clients(user groups) then leave the default
"All" selected in the User Group option.
If you do not want one of the game disks to be assigned to some users, then create a User
group for them and assign the image to the default group in which the rest of the clients are in.
This is useful, when you have a mixed PC with variable gaming capabilities or no gaming
capabilities. Assign game disk to gaming PCs and no game disk to non-gaming PC, etc.

Realtek NIC problem in Win7 x64

Problem :
If the mainboard of the client is ASUS P8P67-M PRO B3 (This mainboard has integrated the
Realtek8168 network card), use win7 64 operation system and install the network driver offered
by the Realtek. When booting the Win7 64 operating system, it’s possible that a blue screen will
occur (especially when transferring a great quantity of data, for example, updating games,
download and copy).
Solution :
Use the Realtek8168 network card driver provided by CCBoot website, change Realtek network
card driver and the concrete operational procedures are as follows:
1. Download file of "Rt64win7.zip"

2. Use the Superuser way to boot the client of Realtek (take the example of PC101).
3. Boot the client PC101, copy Rt64win7.zip to the desktop of PC101 and decompress
Rt64win7.zip file.
4. Replace the files in the three following folders with the decompressed driver file,
C:\CCBootClient\CCBootPnP\Win7\CCBootPnP
C:\Windows\System32\drivers
C:\Windows\System32\CCBootPnP
5. After the finish of the substitution, shut the client.

6. Disable superuser on the CCBoot server.
Solve client lagging
Cause of the client
For the problems caused by the client itself, the causes can be found in the following aspects:
Causes of the client network card
1. Network card brand: the network card is divided into 100Mbps network card, 1000Mbps
network card, independent network card and integrated network card. The 1000Mbps
network card is better than the 100Mbps network card. The independent network card is
better than the integrated network card. The diskless systems are recommended to use
the 1000Mbps network card, for example, the Realtek 8111 series, Realtek 8169 series,
the NF, Atheros brands are not recommended.
www.ccboot.com
2. Network card driver: The same network card differs in performance if using different
drivers.
3. Optimization of network card: The optimization methods of different network cards have
great influence on the performance of clients. Please refer to "Client OS system
optimization" for details.
4. If the client has virus the it will use up all system resources, CPU and RAM and cause
the client to slow down and lag while playing games:
To fix this, run virus scan on the image using antivirus program or delete the file infected by the
virus and re install the files
Cause of the client write-back speed
1. CCBootCloud software can use the client's RAM to set up the client write cache. Please
refer to the "Client Cache" chapter.
2. CCBootCloud can identify the remaining physical RAM which can be used to set up the
client write cache.
Problem of the image package
If the image package is not optimized, it will cause the lag on the client. Please refer to the
"Client OS system optimization" for optimizing clients before image upload.
Cause of server
1. The server system is not optimized.
2. The network card of the server is not optimized. Please refer to "Server and client
network optimization".
3. The hard disk speed of the server influences the client directly. Use the HDTune tool to
test the speed of the hard disk of the server. If the speed is less than 100 MB/s, then it
should be replaced into a faster hard disk.
4. The all disk should be formatted NTFS with a 32K allocation unit..
5. The idleness rate of the disk influences greatly on the smoothness of the client. Use the
CCBoot to "check the disk performance" and the load and cluster size can be checked.
resolved.
Use the Cloud Panel to check the disk performance.
On the Boot page, click the disk tab and note the "Cluster" and idle (%) at the right (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Notes:
In the diagram above, the second indicator shows the idleness rate of the disk. The bigger the
percentage is, the smaller the load pressure of the disk is. The first indicator shows the size of
the cluster. The recommended size is 32K.
If the idleness of any of the disk is lower than 70% for a long time, then you need to redo the
cache settings and optimize the RAM cache for each disk. Normally increasing the RAM cache
size helps.
Cause of the network

Problem of the quality of the switch
1. The quality of the main switch and the sub switch's hardware can influence the speed of
the client directly.
2. If the switch is aging, a new switch is needed to replace it.
www.ccboot.com
The setup of the parameters of switch
1. Smart switches have flow control functions, which can influence the speed of clients, so
the function should be disabled.
2. Some advanced routers have the flow control and terminal control function, these should
also be disabled.
Problem of the Internet
1. The test of the hard disk speed of the client has two kinds of situations: The first kind is
to use the switch to test the hard disk speed of the client that is connected to the server
with the switch. The other kind is to connect the client with the server directly without the
switch to test the hard disk speed of the client. By comparing the test results, we can
check whether it’s the problem of the network.
2. Use HDTune tools to test the speed of the client game disk and the system disk. If the
hard disk speed of the client can’t reach 20MB/S, then the cause of lag is the network.
Cause of the third-party software

Because of the third party software, the browsing of the web by the client can slow down and
the web games will not be smooth.
If the latest "Thunder Kankan" software is installed, the operation of the client will not be
smooth. If the third-party software is needed to be installed, then the following procedures can
be referred to:
1. Boot one client with a superclient.

2. After booting the diskless client, install the latest "Thunder Kankan" and reboot the client.
3. After rebooting the client, offload the "Thunder Kankan" player, reboot the client and shut
off the client.
4. Disable the super client on the CCBootCloud server.
After booting the client diskless, the Thunder Kankan player doesn’t exit, but the plugins of
Thunder Kankan still remain in the system, which doesn’t influence watching films online, but
playing web games can be unsmooth.
Some software caused big write-back data. You can find and stop/remove them. Please refer to
"Find Large Write-back Speed Program"

This error denotes that the writeback disk has corrupt data and is not able to overwrite it with
new writeback data from the client.
Solution:
www.ccboot.com
Stop CCBoot service, then delete all the writeback data from the writeback disk. If any writeback
data is not deleted that means there is corrupt data. To fix it, format the writeback disk to clear
the corrupted data from the writeback disk.

This error occurs when the disk is unallocated or inaccessible due to few reasons.1
1. disk disconnected from the server.
2. disk has bad sector and cannot read/write to the disk
To fix this you need to do the following:
1. first turn off the system
2. secure the power cable and SATA cable to the disks
3. turn on the computer, then check in disk management if the disks are detected or not
4. Check the disk for bad sectors using chkdsk command
5. And make sure you have not set any rules in system to prevent access to the disks
20. *** ERROR *** Current memory used: 32002048/5897347072, lack of memory process

If you encounter this error then this means that CCBoot was not able to use the system RAM for
RAM cache
To resolve this, follow the instructions below.
a. Check of your RAM modules are working properly - run a memcheck

www.ccboot.com
b. If RAM is working fine, then uninstall CCBoot, and delete all configuration files from the
installation directory, then re-install CCBoot and configure it.
c. If reinstall is still not fixing the issue, then please remove any blockage for CCBoot in the
system like in firewall or in hosts files as if CCBoot cannot activate properly.
21. "DHCP socket error in getsockname: 10055 reason: 0x2747 an operation on a socket
could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a
queue was full."
With a large number of clients (100 or more) on one server, can see the following in the logs of
critical errors as above.
This error occurs because of the large number of concurrent connections (by default, win server
2008 is set to 5000). Due to this error, your clients will not receive IP addresses from DHCP and
any PC can randomly lose connection from CCBoot and reboot.
To fix this, you need to add more slots, this can be done using the registry editor.
1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following subkey in the registry, and then click Parameters:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click New, and then add the following registry entry:
Value Name: MaxUserPort

Value Type: DWORD
Value data: 65534
Valid Range: 5000-65534 (decimal)
Default: 0x1388 (5000 decimal)
4. Close the registry editor and restart the CCBoot server.
5. Now, clients will not such issue again
Invalid hotkey ALT + Tab

When playing games, we use the ALT + Tab hotkey to switch the window, perhaps to check
Facebook messages or skype messages or other applications. When we do that sometime it is
possible that the "Alt + Tab" hotkey fails to work.
www.ccboot.com
When this happens, you can fix this by updating the image in super client and merging a registry
file to the OS
Let's take PC101 for example.
Follow the instructions below
1) Click this link "http://www.ccboot.com/download/alt-tab-no-lag.zip to download alt-tab-no-

lag.reg file.
2) Copy this file to your USB drive. Now, enable super client on PC101.
3) Boot the PC101.
4) After booting the client PC101 from CCBoot in super client mode, double click "alt-tab-no-
lag.reg" to merge it to the client OS registry.
5) After registry merges, reboot PC101 once and then shutdown the client after it fully comes to
the desktop.
6) Now, disable super client and update the image.
The issue with "Alt + Tab" hotkey will not appear anymore.
Fix Windows 10 activation issue on CCBoot client

Problem:
When trying to activate the Windows 10 with license on CCBoot client, the activation process
will give error and fail to activate the windows (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Solution:
Enable the following services in the Windows Services:
1. Background Intelligent Transfer Service
2. Windows Update
Once the two services are enabled and started, you can activate the Windows successfully
USB and PnP devices initial installation

Problem :
Sometimes, it takes a long time for Windows to perform the initial installation and configuration
of USB and other PnP devices when booting systems.
If it is performing the initial installation of the mouse and keyboard USB device, then you can't
do anything during this period of time.
Solutions
1. On the CCBoot server, enable the super client for a client PC (such as PC101).
2. Diskless boot PC101.
3. Install the USB or other PnP devices.
4. Click the "Start" button, and in the "Run" edit box, type "regedit".
5. In the "Registry Editor" form, navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM", and
then click the "CCBootPnP", in the right form, double-click the "PnPUSB" (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
6. It will pop up the "Edit DWORD Value" dialog box, in the "Value data" edit box, modify
"0" to "1" (Figure 2).
Figure 2
www.ccboot.com
If it is the "USB disk" problem, you need to double-click the "PnPUSBSTOR", and after
that, it will pop up the "Edit DWORD Value" dialog box, in the "Value data" edit box,
modify "0" to "1".
7. Shutdown PC101
8. On the CCBoot server, uncheck the super client.
Note: After modifying the registry, some compatible problems may show up. (For
example, there may be some problems with using a video camera.)
Cannot connect to Steam network

Problem:
Steam games are really popular and many users use it to play many games.
But sometimes it gives you an error saying "cannot connect to steam network" when you try to
login to steam. This does not happen normally but when it happens it really hard to get
connected.
Solution:
When you log in, steam creates some file inside the "appcache" folder and it is the reason you
are unable to connect to the steam network.
To resolve this simply, delete the "appcache" folder and login again.
Now you will be able to login without any errors.
NVIDIA NIC starts nvnetbus before nvenetfd

NVIDIA chipsets don't view all devices on the PCI bus in a direct fashion, and there's a bus
driver (nvnetbus) necessary to make the network adapter appear as a common PCI Ethernet
device on the bus.
Booting Windows XP/2k/etc using the iSCSI / WinAoE driver will not work, due to a missing
service (nvnetbus) not being started. While this is not a hardware issue, nor a problem with
gPXE, it is included here for informative purposes.
Problem (iSCSI)
www.ccboot.com
After installing Microsoft iSCSI Boot initiator and executing sanbootconf (and thus making sure
the NVENETFD service is started at boot) booting the image over iSCSI will result in BSOD
(0x0000007b). This happens even though the NVENETFD service is loaded during boot.
This was tested on Windows XP x64.
Problem (AOE)
After installing WinAoE and making sure the NVENETFD service is started at boot, booting the
image over AoE will work well until aoe32.sys is loaded. Upon loading aoe, the system will hang
without any network activity. This happens even though the NVENETFD and nvnetbus services
are loaded before aoe32.sys.
This is tested on Windows XP and Vista, both 32-bit. Not tested using 64-bit, but the problem is
likely to be the same.
Solution:
The nvnetbus service has to be started before NVENETFD:
In order to do this, the user has to be familiar with CurrentControlSet\Services Subkey Entries
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/103000) and with CurrentControlSet\Control\GroupOrderList
Entries (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc976063.aspx).
Overview of the steps required to make nvnetbus being started before NVENETFD:
1) Diskless boot one of the client PCs with a super client.
2) Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NVENETFD",
remember the value of Tag (priority) and increase it by 1.
3) Navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvnetbus”, and
a. Set "Group" to "NDIS".
b. Set "Start" to "0".
c. Set "Tag" to the original tag of NVENETFD.
4) Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GroupOrderList\
NDIS", increase the number of Tags (first four bytes), and add the new tag we just added for
NVENETFD at the end of the list (you're adding four more bytes at the end).
5) Disable super client on CCBoot server.

Other Solution:
Another option is to use the RIS driver for the nForce card (not verified). The simplest fix is to
simply use another network adapter.
Fix Google Chrome black screen issues in Windows 10

Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers, but even the best browser can have
certain issues. Speaking of issues, here are some problems that users reported:
● Google Chrome black screen Windows 8, 7, after minimize, on startup, crash –

According to users, Chrome issues can occur on any version of Windows, and Windows
8 and 7 aren’t exceptions. Almost all of our solutions are compatible with older versions
of Windows, so be sure to try them out.
● Google Chrome screen went black – Many users reported that their screen suddenly
turns black in Google Chrome. This is a big problem, but you might be able to solve it by
disabling problematic extensions.
● Google Chrome new tab black screen – Sometimes this problem can occur when
opening a new tab. To fix that, simply disable hardware acceleration and check if that
helps.
● Google Chrome black window – This is another variation of this error, but you might
be able to fix it by running Chrome in Compatibility mode.
On top of that, privacy issues and high battery consumption aren’t the only things that should
worry Chrome users. Namely, a few issues may occur here and there, with some of them
making our browsing impossible. One of these issues is the well-known black screen issues in
Google Chrome.
Various users have recently reported a strange issue where the Google Chrome window simply
goes black while browsing. Luckily for all those users experiencing this problem, there’s a
solution.
Solution 1 – Disable hardware acceleration
The most common workaround for black screen issues in Google Chrome is to disable GPU
compositing on all pages. In case you don’t know how to do that, follow these instructions:
1. Create Google Chrome shortcut on Desktop (in case you don’t have it)
2. Right-click the shortcut, and select Properties.
3. Click on the Shortcuts tab.

www.ccboot.com
4. In the Target window, add the following text: “[space]–disable-gpu“ (so the path should look
like chrome.exe” –disable-gpu”) (Figure 1).
Figure 1
5. Save changes.
6. Now, open Chrome and go to Settings > Show advanced settings.
7. Now, just disable the Use hardware acceleration when available option (Figure 2).
Figure 2
8.Restart Chrome.
www.ccboot.com
This solution proved to be the right one in most of the cases, and for the majority of users.
However, if you’re still experiencing the black screen issues in Google Chrome, move on to
another solution.
Solution 2 – Disable plugins

Sometimes certain plugins can cause a black screen to appear in your browser. A plugin might
not be fully compatible with your version of Chrome or it might be buggy causing the issue to
appear.
To fix the problem, you need to find and disable the problematic plugin. This is quite simple, and
you can do it by following these steps:
1. Click the Menu icon and choose More tools > Extensions (Figure 3).
Figure 3
2. List of all extensions will now appear. Disable all extensions by clicking the switch icon next to
the extension’s name (Figure 4).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
3. After disabling all extensions, restart Chrome and check if the problem is still there.
If the issue doesn’t reappear, you can start enabling extensions one by one until you find the
one that is causing the issue. Once you find it, you can keep it disabled or remove it from
Chrome.
Solution 3 – Disable Chrome flags

Another solution is to disable some Chrome flags, in order to get rid of the black screen
problem. The flags we’re looking to disable are:
GPU compositing on all pages
Threaded compositing
Do SHOW Presents with GD
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Enter the following URL in the Chrome address bar: chrome://flags/ (Figure 5).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
2. Look out for the above-mentioned flags, and disable them.
3. Restart Chrome.
This solution proved to be helpful only to some users, as others reported it as unsuccessful.
Nevertheless, you should try it, and see if disabled flags make any difference.
Solution 4 – Resize Chrome

According to users, you might be able to fix this problem simply by resizing Chrome. To do that,
just click and hold Google’s title bar in order to resize it. After doing that, restore Chrome back to
the original size and check if the problem is still there.
Keep in mind that this is just a workaround, so it won’t permanently solve this issue. If the black
screen reappears, simply resize your browser again and the problem will be temporarily solved.
Solution 5 – Run Chrome in Compatibility mode

www.ccboot.com
Compatibility mode is a useful feature of Windows that allows you to run older applications.
Speaking of which, many users reported that they fixed black screen issues in Google Chrome
simply by enabling Compatibility mode. To do that, just follow these steps:
1. Locate Chrome shortcut, right-click it and choose Properties from the menu (Figure 6).
Figure 6
2. When the Properties window opens, navigate to the Compatibility tab and check Run this
program in compatibility mode for. Now select the desired version of Windows. Many users
recommend using Windows 7, so you might do that. Lastly, click Apply and OK to save changes
(Figure 7).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 7
After enabling Compatibility mode, try starting Chrome again. If the issue reappears, repeat the
same steps, but this time click Change settings for all users button. In addition, you might want
to try different versions of Windows and check if that helps.
Solution 6 – Add -no-sandbox launch parameter
According to users, you might be able to fix the problem simply by adding the -no-sandbox
parameter to Chrome’s shortcut. In case you don’t know, Google Chrome uses a Sandbox
mode in order to separate its processes
This means that even if your browser encounters malware, the malware will be contained
thanks to the Sandbox mode.
As you can see, Sandbox mode is a useful security feature, but sometimes it can cause black
screen issues in Google Chrome. To fix the problem, some users are suggesting to disable
Sandbox mode, and to do that, you need to follow these steps:
www.ccboot.com
1. Right-click Chrome’s shortcut. Choose Properties from the menu.
2. Navigate to the Shortcut tab and in the Target field add –no-sandbox at the end. Now click
Apply and OK to save changes (Figure 8).
Figure 8
Solution 7 – Reset Google Chrome
If you’re having problems with the black screen in Chrome, you might be able to solve the
problem simply by resetting Chrome to default. By doing that you’ll reset all its settings and
remove all extensions.
Keep in mind that this will remove all your bookmarks and history, so be sure to enable syncing
or export your data. You can do that easily and efficiently with these tools.
To reset Google Chrome, you need to do the following:

www.ccboot.com
1. Click the Menu icon in Chrome and choose Settings from the menu (Figure 9).
Figure 9
2. When the Settings tab opens, scroll all the way down and click Advanced (Figure 10).
Figure 10
3. Navigate to Reset and clean up section and click Reset settings (Figure 11).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 11
4. Click the Reset button to confirm (Figure 12).
Figure 12
Wait for a few minutes while Chrome resets to default. Now check if the problem is still there.
Solution 8 – Reinstall Chrome
According to users, sometimes in order to fix this problem you need to reinstall Chrome
completely. Reinstalling Chrome might remove all your bookmarks and history, so you should
export them or enable syncing.
There are several ways to uninstall Chrome, but the best one is to use uninstaller software. In
case you’re not familiar, uninstaller software is a special application that will remove the
selected application along with all of its files and registry entries.
There are many great uninstaller applications, but one of the best is IOBit Uninstaller, so be
sure to try it out. Once you remove Chrome with this tool, install it again and check if the
problem is resolved.
www.ccboot.com
In addition, you can also try using the Beta or Canary version of Chrome. These are
experimental versions, but they offer the latest bug fixes, so using them might be a good
temporary solution.
Solution 9 - Set Compatibility
1. Go to "Properties" of chrome and select "Compatibility" tab.
2. Check on "Run this program in compatibility mode for: " and select "Windows Vista (Service
Pack 2)" (Figure 13).
Figure 13
3. Click on the "Apply" button.

About iSCSIPrt failed

If there are error messages which appear in the event viewer like below, please don't worry,
because these are the normal phenomena.
1. Event 5, IscsiPrt: Failed to setup initiator portal. Error status is given in the dump data.
2. Event 45, volmgr: The system could not successfully load the crash dump driver.
3. Event 46, volmgr: Crash dump initialization failed!
Note: There are two reasons for these errors. One is that we use diskless solutions, and the
clients visit the server's disks through iSCSI, and sometimes the network may be disconnected.
The other reason is that when the server gets started and while it changes from Real Mode to
386 Mode, the network will be disconnected which is unavoidable, and clients cannot connect to
the server, which causes the network traffic/congestion. But we have Disk Manage Service, and
the iSCSI has a restatement mechanism, once the network is disconnected, it will automatically
reconnect later. Please don't worry about this problem, it doesn't matter much.
Upload image failed

For CCBootCloud, image upload is handled using Disk2VHD tool, which is then used to upload
the image to a shared folder on the server.
a. Shared folder inaccessible
If there is some issue accessing the shared folder then you will see the following error (Figure
1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
To fix the shared folder access, make sure the service “Lanmanworkstation” is set to
“Automatic” startup and running (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Note: Firewall rules may also prevent access to the shared folder, so disable firewall rule or
firewall to access the shared folder.
Make sure that you can access the “CCBootShare '' folder on the server from the client. If the
shared folder is not accessible then image upload cannot proceed.
b. Volume Shadow Services disabled
Disk2VHD uses the volume shadow copy to create an image, if the “vss” service is disabled
then you will get the following error.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
To fix the issue, set the “vss” service to start “Automatic” in “Services” (Figure 4)

Fix issues related to raid 0
Sometimes raid 0 can be corrupted. In this case, all disks from this raid will have a RAW file
system. You can try using "CHKDSK" command line utility which fixes file system issues and
other disk related issues. Running this command on the affected RAID partition may fix the
issues and help you restore data from corrupted RAID.
Follow the steps given below:
[WARNING]: Running "CHKDSK" command may result in data loss as it marks the unreadable
sectors as bad sectors.
1. Launch cmd as an administrator.
2. On cmd window, type the command as below:
chkdsk /f X: , where X is the drive letter of a RAID partition and /f fixes errors.
3. Press the enter key.
4. Now wait for a few minutes while the utility fixes issues (Figure 1).

Fix RTX graphics card shows black screen on client

www.ccboot.com
Issue: Black screen on client which has RTX graphics cards
Solution:
RTX Graphics cards use new drivers released from NVidia, which have some issues with
Windows 10 1803 and any older build for it.
To fix the black screen problem, you need to use Windows 10 build 1809 and the Latest NVidia
drivers.
Note: if your current image is an older build, then you need to make a new image for it.
Do not try to upgrade the OS from older build to newer build of Windows 10, as it removes all
NIC drivers and CCBoot client applications from the OS and breaks the diskless booting
capabilities on that image.
Intel graphics card conflict

Suppose that the Intel graphics card type on your clients are different (PC01 is Intel A, PC02 is
Intel B), when you install or update the graphics card driver on PC01, PC02 gets a blue screen,
and these two types of Intel graphics card always conflict.
This is because Intel A and Intel B are both from Intel, their "*.sys" and service name are the
same, when you install or update Intel A, it will overwrite the "*.sys" and ".inf" files of Intel B. We
revised one of the Intel graphics card drivers, modified its ".inf" file and renamed its "*.sys" file
name to prevent Intel A and Intel B conflict. Now, you can download the revised Intel VGA driver
from http://www.ccboot.com/download/intel-vga-2exx-fix.zip,
http://www.ccboot.com/download/intel-vga-01xx-fixa.zip and
http://www.ccboot.com/download/intel-vga-015x-fixb.zip
Note: If your Intel graphics card type is not included in our fixed divers, you can modify the
".sys" and ".inf" files yourself according to the following steps.
We take VEN_8086&DEV_0102 and VEN_8086&DEV_0152 for example. You can download
them from http://www.lacroixrouge-brest.fr/pci_ven_8086&dev_0102.rar and
http://www.lacroixrouge-brest.fr/pci_ven_8086&dev_0152.rar.
1. Extract "pci_ven_8086&dev_0102.rar" file, open the extracted folder, and find the ".inf"
file (Figure 1). (Note: Normally, we just need to modify the lower version graphics card's
".sys" and ".inf" files.)
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
2. Open the ".inf" file with Notepad, find texts which end with ".sys" (there are three ".sys"
texts, they are, "igdkmd64.sys", "ServiceBinary = %12%\igdkmd64.sys" and
"igdkmd64.sys") (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
3. Modify these three ".sys" texts. For example, add "_fix" before ".sys" (Figure 3; Figure 4;
Figure 5). Then save this ".inf" file.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
4. Find "igdkmd64.sys" in the extracted folder, and rename it as "igdkmd64_fix.sys" (Figure
6).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 6
5. Open the ".inf" file again, find "AddService" (there are four "AddService"), and add "_fix"
after "AddService = igfx" (Figure 1-7). Finally, save the ".inf" file.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 7
6. On the "Device Manage", install the new revised graphics card driver.
Notes: If you have 3 types of vga drivers that conflict with each other, you can modify the first
vga drivers as "_fix", and modify the second vga drivers as "_fixa".

Solve "Getting Devices Ready" on Windows 10

In the clients which have different hardware specifications, it will pop up the message of
"Installing PNP Driver for New Hardware" or show "Getting Devices Ready" screen during boot.
Normally, when your client pc shows "Installing drivers" (windows 7) or "Getting Devices Ready"
(window 10), It does not affect diskless boot of the client.
Windows 7 and above have good compatibility with different hardware. To stop getting
"Installing PNP Driver for New Hardware" or "Getting Devices Ready" in clients, you can follow
the following instructions.
1. Super client the PC that is showing the driver installation pop up or screen.
2. Boot the super client PC and install relevant drivers for the client hardware.
3. Once done, shutdown the client PC.
4. Disable super client and save the image.
5. Now, boot other clients as well and check if any client shows the same "Installing
drivers" again.
6. If any client shows "Installing Driver" or "Getting Devices Ready", then repeat step 1 - 5.
7. Use ReadyFix on the client side in super client mode.
8. Once you have finished doing step 1-6, but you still get the "Getting Devices Ready" or
"Installing Drivers" then you need to use Hardware Profiles to resolve this.
Note:
● Hardware profiles work differently compared to simple super clients and install drivers.
There are cases, the hardware drivers may be conflicting with each other, for example,
the driver filename is the same.
That is, after enabling super clients to update the drivers of one of the clients, the drivers
of other clients will have conflicts. Mostly, this problem happens to graphic card drivers,
when this happens, we recommend you try and use Hardware Profiles.
● If you are experiencing increased reads and writes after using the hardware profile then
please make sure you enable client cache. Once enabled, you will see less writeback to
the server.
● If you want an updated GPU driver or you have issues with recognizing GPU. Please do
a clean installation of the GPU drivers.
www.ccboot.com
○ Ways to do clean installations:

Firstly, uninstall GPU drivers using DDU (Download here)
Then install the latest GPU driver:
○ Nvidia
○ AMD
Solve issues with low download speed and high ping
Sometimes when you have many client PCs your customers will have issues with low download
speed or high ping on games when all PCs are used. To resolve this issue, you can use QoS on
your internet router.
Add all your client PCs with their MAC address to the router's QoS client list and set a speed
limit to the clients if required.
You can follow these links to configure QoS on most popular routers:
TP-link
D-Link
Netgear
Refresh rate on client PCs with ggLeap

We have a feature on CCBoot to change refresh rate on booting but ggLeap client interface is

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 on each PC.
Disable secure boot in BIOS

CCBoot cannot work with secure boot (Figure 1).
Figure 1
So, we have to disable it in BIOS.
We can disable it by following the steps below:
For Dell :
1. Go to BIOS settings.
2. Go to "Secure Boot" Option (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
3. Disable secure boot by selecting the "Disable" radio button and click on the "Apply"
button (Figure 3).
Figure 3
For MSI :
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
1. For legacy images, there is no need to disable secure boot. It is because there is no way
to enable it when CSM is enabled.
2. For UEFI images, there is no need to change mode from CSM to UEFI.

Load slow when internet is disconnected

If the client/server doesn't detect there is Internet connection (like the internet gets
disconnected), some games like NBA 2k12/2k13, battlefield 2, team fortress loads very slow
which usually takes 1-2 min loading will now take 5-15 minutes depending on games. You need
to enable iSCSI service in Windows 7. Please refer to the following steps.
1. Please boot the client with a super client.
2. type "iscsi" in the Windows "Start" menu, choose "iSCSI Initiator" and click it (Figure 1).
Figure 1
3. Click the "Yes" button (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
4. Shutdown the client PC and disable Super Client.
Now, the client will load that game fast even without the Internet.
Recovery mode after CCBoot installation

When you install CCBoot on a server or on a client PC, sometimes Windows goes to recovery
mode on booting after reboot. To fix this issue follow the steps below :
1. Go to BIOS and open the boot tab.
2. Then find the option "Secure boot" and disable it or set "Other OS" on OS type.
3. Then try booting Server or Client PC again, now windows should boot normally.
For example: This is how the option looks on Asus motherboards.
www.ccboot.com
Refer Disable secure boot in BIOS for some listed manufacturers.
Game disk is not accessible

When you enable super client to update your image or game disk, then the game disk will be
locked to prevent data corruption from outside reads and writes
Reasons:
1) When you put a client in super client mode on an image only to update it. New versions of
CCBoot locks the Game Disk as well. If you forget to disable super client after you are done
updating your image. Then the game disk will continue to be in locked state and will not be
accessible in both Client and Server.
2) When you enable super client to update games (game disk) from Client Computer, then
CCBoot locks the Game Disk on the server, which also makes it inaccessible on server as well
as client.
3) If you created RAID using a storage pool in windows 10 or Windows server 2016.
Note: If clients are running when you use super client to update then clients can continue to play
until they open different game, they will get an error and cannot open the game.
This is because CCBoot tries to load games from Game Disk but at that time Game Disk is
locked and cannot read from it.
Solution:
1. Disable super client mode once you are done updating image/game disk or both. Refer
Update Boot Image/Game Disk using Super Client.
2. Do not use Storage pool to create RAID 0 for game disk, use Windows Disk Management to
create RAID 0.
3. Check on the server side if Administrator has full access on the game disk. If there is no full
access then give your Admin user full access on the disk (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Recommendation:
When you super client to update an image or game disk, please turn off another computer to
prevent any crashes from happening. It's best to do updates when your cafe or gaming center is
idle.
www.ccboot.com

Client boot failed with TRedFilterCafe and WinpkFilter

If you are using TRedFilterCafe, you will encounter boot diskless failure. TRedFilterCafe is
based on WinpkFilter drivers. So, we need to make some changes in registry.
1. Boot the master PC with HDD.
2. Install TRedFilterCafe. (Notes, you should install TRedFilterCafe before CCBootClient)
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\ndisrd.
4. Change "Start" to 0.
5. Install CCBootClient.
6. Upload image.
Note: If you are using CCBoot v3.0 latest version (server and client are version 20140827 or
later), you do not need to modify the registry any more. More information about TRedFilterCafe
and WinpkFilter drivers please refer to this.

Client PC has multiple IPs

Sometimes CCBoot clients can get multiple IPs. One from CCBoot DHCP server and one from
other sources (Figure 1).
Figure 1
When this happens, clients can still boot normally but sometimes may have issues when
booting. If the client has issue booting then we need to solve this.
To solve this issue.
1. Make sure that there are no other DHCP running on your network and only CCBoot
DHCP server is running. If there are any, please disable them (specially router DHCP).
2. If the client has issue booting then check that DHCP is enabled in the client PC. Please
refer to "Set the DHCP client" for a solution.
www.ccboot.com
3. Install the latest version of CCBoot on your client in super client mode. The latest
version has a patch for windows 7 which fixed the multiple IP issue.
Note: You need to have Windows update enabled when you install the new version. If you have
windows update disabled, then the Windows 7 patch will not be installed and the multiple IP
issue will persist.
4. Set static IP in the client before you upload the image.
Note: Setting static IP is applicable for newer versions of CCBoot and is not for version older
than 20160729
Clients cannot connect to the internet

Problem:
If you encounter the problem that the client PCs cannot connect to the Internet,
Scenario 1.
This may be due to multiple IPs in the client from different DHCP services in the network,
especially due to DHCP service in Router.
Solution: Please disable other DHCP services and set IP of the client to be Static in super client
mode (new versions only)
Scenario 2.
The client has multiple networks showing in the network sharing center.
Solution:
1. Enable one client to be superclient.
2. Download and install the latest version available from our website.
3. Set the IP of the client to Static.
4. d. If the client still hasn't connected to the internet, then you need to install a windows
update.
For Windows 7 64 Bit install "Windows6.1-KB2727330-v2-x64.msu" update package.
For Windows 7 32 Bit install "Windows6.1-KB2727330-v2-x86.msu" update package.
5. Note: You can find these files in the CCBoot Client folder.
6. Once installed, restart the client and you will see the client only has one LAN and
internet as well.
www.ccboot.com
7. Turn off the client and save the super client data
Scenario 3.
Client does not have multiple IP or multiple networks but still cannot connect to the internet.
Solution: Please check and make sure that the Gateway IP and the DNS address are set
correctly.
Solution:
1. Boot your client computer in super client mode, and then open Registry editor and go to
the key below
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
Interfaces
2. Now, look for the interface on the left that has the "DhcpDefaultGateway" parameter
(Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com

Avoid network disconnection

Problem:
My network disconnects intermittently. I suspect it is because of the network auto sleep. I
enabled super client to disable auto sleep and power save, but after I restarted the client, it
reverted back to the old settings.
Solution:
1. Diskless boot one client PC with super client.
2. Disable the "Power Options" in the network properties. For details, please refer to "Client
power options optimization".
3. Run CCBoot PNP tool. Click "Collect Local NIC", and then click "Merge Collected NIC".
4. Shutdown the client PC, and then disable super client on CCBoot server.

10Gbps NIC throughput is low

Although you have 10Gbps network connection, you are getting low throughput. It is due to the
use of incorrect PCIe slots to connect the 10Gbps NIC.
Solution:
There are a total 4 types of PCIe slots: PCIe x1, PCIe x4, PCIe x8, PCIe x16 (Figure 1).
Connect the 10Gbps NIC in PCIe x4 if the NIC is only 1 x 10Gbps port and connect to PCIe x8 if
there are 2 or more 10Gbps ports in the NIC.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Note:
The PCIe x1 slot has a speed limit of 4Gbits/s. So, the Network connection of 10 Gbps NIC will
be very slow (~3.5Gbits/s).
Find PCI Vendor and Device ID of Client NIC

When you want to add a new PC to an already booting image, it helps to know the Vendor ID
and Device ID of the NIC of your motherboard. With the NIC vendor known you can download
the driver for it and use “Add From INF” to add that PC to the image.
To find out the Vendor ID and Device ID of the NIC follow the steps below (Figure 1).
1. Right click "My Computer" -> click "Manage" to open the "Computer Management"
window -> "Device Manager" -> "Network Adapters" -> double click the current network
adapter to open the adapter properties dialog box -> click "Details" tab.
Note: You can type “devmgmt.msc” in run and press enter to open “Device Manager”.
2. Click the property drop down and click “Hardware Ids”, now, note the
“VEN_XXXX&DEV_XXXX”,
3. You can use this to find the driver for you NIC.
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
In Figure 1, the Vendor ID is "8080" and the Device ID is "100F".
If you are using the newer version of CCBoot, you can also obtain such VEN/DEV ID directly
from CCBoot Client application.
1. Open the CCBoot Client application.
2. Note the VEN ID and DEV ID in the red box (Figure 2)

When the client PC is booted into safe mode it will bypass many of the billing programs which is
not good for business. So, learn how to disable safe mode.
1. Enable super client one of the clients.
2. Create a batch file with the following commands.
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no

bcdedit /set {current} bootems off
bcdedit /set {current} advancedoptions off
bcdedit /set {current} optionsedit off
bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy IgnoreAllFailures
bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled off
3. Copy the batch file to the client and run it as administrator.
4. After the commands have successfully completed, turn off the client.
5. Disable the super client and boot your client.

Change gateway for clients for different internet

We all have used one or two internet connections in our cafe and have faced the issue of
changing the gateway for clients so they can access faster internet for smoother game play for
online games. So, let's learn how to do it automatically.
1.Open the CCBoot installation folder.
2.Create folder "Cmd" in there.
3.Create "groupname.txt" file where "groupname" is the name of your PC group in

CCBootCloud. You should create a txt file for each PC group.
4.Open the txt file and write the following:
route delete 0.0.0.0

route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 metric 1
instead of 192.168.1.1 you can write the gateway that you want to use on this PC group (Figure
1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
5. Save the txt file.
6. Then boot any PC in super client mode; set static IP and delete gateway (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
7. Lastly, turn off the PC and save changes to image.
Dealing with irregular IP address

Solution for Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)
Server BSOD Solutions

1. 100% RAM usage on server
If you have used the server for a long time and have many applications installed on it as well as
some antivirus, then it can cause the server to use 100% of the RAM causing the server to hang
and reboot.
To fix this, remove unwanted applications and leave 2-3 GB RAM free in the server.
2. Faulty server RAM

CCBoot relies heavily on RAM of server so if you have a faulty RAM then server can end up
crashing and
www.ccboot.com
To fix this, Check the RAM using memtest and see if it gives any error, if it does show error then
replace the RAM module.
3. Server OS
If you have downloaded the OS image from untrusted sources then it may have hidden malware
or virus causing harm to your files.
So, if this happens, reinstall Server OS from trusted sources. we recommend using Server
2008/R2 or server 2012/R2 for server use

relevant solutions.
***Stop 0x000000EA
Cause
A device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for hardware to become idle.
This usually indicates a problem with the hardware itself, or with the device driver programming
the hardware incorrectly. Frequently, this is the result of a bad video card or a bad display
driver. (Figure 2)

Solutions:
1. Download the Super Image from our forum site, You can choose your preferred OS.
2. Apply the method CCBoot Hardware Profile this could solve the problem about BSOD
0x000000EA
Client BSOD after uploading the image

There are times that clients will Blue Screen and stop working. Here are some of the causes
and their solutions.
1. Blue Screen with IRQL Not less or equal (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Cause: This is caused by drivers of the hardware. Some drivers require system reboot to fully
initialize. So, if you install a driver but do not reboot before uploading the image to the server.
The client will stop booting after the Windows logo and show bluescreen.
Solution: After installing the drivers, restart the computer and make sure the driver is properly
detected. If the last driver you installed is the NIC driver then you need to open the
CCBootClient application and then click the “Install Client” button and install ccboot client
service once again. Only after that, upload the image.
2. Blue Screen with Inaccessible Boot device (Figure 3).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Cause: This happens when the nic driver is not able to load and connect after the Windows
logo screen. The reason it doesn't load is that the NIC driver service is not set as boot service.
Solution: To resolve this, open the CCBootClient application then click the “Install Client” button
and install ccboot client service once again this will set the NIC driver service to start as boot
service.
You can check if the driver service is set as boot service or not from the registry. Here is an
example for realtek nic driver (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
3. Blue Screen with Page Fault In NonPaged Area (Figure 5).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
Cause: This is caused by pagefile not being set properly in new Windows 10 before uploading
the image.
Solution: To resolve this issue, use this batch file to apply the registry entries then restart the
PC once. After the PC has restarted, upload the image.
4. Client BIOS version

Sometimes clients with the same boards fail to boot due to different BIOS versions. Example:
ASRock motherboard AB350 Pro4 motherboard. This motherboard can boot diskless if the
BIOS version is P3.20 (Figure 6) while it will fail to boot if the BIOS version is P4.70 (Figure 7).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 6
www.ccboot.com
Figure 7
To resolve this, you need to downgrade the newer BIOS to older version in which it can boot.

Enable AHCI in the server BIOS

Opening the AHCI function can improve the writing performance of the disk of the server. For
details, please refer to the "Server Hardware Requirements". The following are the methods of
opening the AHCI function.
1. In the process of starting up the computer, keep pressing the "Delete" button of the
keyboard, enter the "BIOS" setting.
2. Find the SATA interface setting option, change the "IDE" mode to "AHCI" mode; press
the "F10" to save and exit (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Notes: Because the BIOS versions of the main board are not the same, the positions of the
"SATA interface" options are different. Recommend you can read the main board manual, and
then modify the BIOS.
If the server has installed the operation system, you can set the AHCI mode in the BIOS, it will
lead to the blue screen of death. The solution is as follows:
1. First set back to the original normal mode.
2. Start the server.

www.ccboot.com
3. Click the "Start" button, enter "regedit" in the "Run" edition box, and click the "Enter"

Blue Screen When Booting

0X000007B blue screen code
Blue screen occurs when booting, and can't get into the system. Check the blue screen code
and it is mostly as 0X000007B, which is due to network card driver error or stoppage of network
card itself.
Solutions:
1) Change network card driver, and download proper driver to replace original driver on
official website of network card.
2) Extract network card, clean the golden finger of the network card, then insert it into a
slot on the mainboard or change slop. If it is the board load network card, it has to
change the mainboard or add an individual network card.
Not 0X000007B blue screen code

If it is not 0X000007B blue screen code, then there will be various reasons, such as installation
of antivirus software, simplified system, wrong operations for uploading image, etc.
Solutions:
1) Download the completed version system or use the installation version, and reinstall the
system and make a good patch, as well as unload software for no use.
2) When uploading an image, it needs a stable network. If the network is not stable, it will
cause problems for uploading images, and as a result, it will lead to a blue screen.
0X000000A5 Blue Screen Code

Solution:
This may be because AHCI was disabled in the BIOS. Please enable AHCI in the Server BIOS.
0X0000004E Blue Screen Code

Solution:
Normally, this is because of the graphics card driver problem. Please try the latest graphics card
driver. If this problem exists on the same brand graphics card, it is the VGA driver problem. If
not, it may be the memory-chip problem, please take the memory-chip out and clean it.

Blue Screen after Copying Big File

If a blue screen happened after copying a big file, it may be because of the client NIC driver
problem, please download the latest NIC.
NIC Driver issues

Some NIC drivers are not compatible and if you tried and installed it while creating the image
then the client PC will have BSOD as the NIC will not properly function.
When that happens, the Blue screen will show the driver file that caused it.
www.ccboot.com
To fix it, mount the image and then delete the corresponding driver and then save it. The clients
will boot without and BSOD
Writeback disk bad sectors

If clients are randomly restarting with bluescreen and stop restarting after deleting all writeback
files or formatting the writeback disk.
Then, you need to check the disk health, it may have many bad sectors. When the writeback file
of the client is written to the disk and encounters a bad sector, it won't be able to write it on that
sector which will cause client lag as well as blue screen and restart.
To fix this, you need to replace the writeback with a new one, possibly an SSD if you are using
HDD currently.

Boot Issues
Client diskless boot failed
1. Failure of booting from network
a. The first booting item in the BIOS is not "boot from network".
b. The electricity in the BIOS battery is not enough.
c. The BIOS setup is in a mess, please reset up the BIOS.
d. Because of the humid climate, the connection between the RAM and main board is not
good. Please wipe the gold fingers in the RAM.
e. The network cable is not well plugged.
f. Sometimes the client does not boot, even after checking all possibilities in the server.
This means the issue is with the network switch, you need to power cycle the switch
(turn off/ on) once. After that clients will boot fine. If this happens frequently. We
recommend replacing the switch with a better one.
g. Clients will fail to boot if the IP address of the client PC is conflicted with another PC or
device (WiFi Extender, router, or mobile devices). If this happens please change the IP
of the devices and reboot the client.
2. Stops at DHCP
The client stops at DHCP when booting and the address of the server IP can't be obtained.
a. Problem of the network: testing method, use one computer to PING server and use the
server to PING the computer.
b. Problem of the switch. Solution: check the main switch and the sub switch to see
whether the power supply is normal.
c. Problem of network cable. Solution: Check whether there is a problem for the client
network cable and the server network cable and make sure they have been connected
to a LAN.
d. Problem of the firewall. Solution: Shutdown the firewall of the server.
e. The CCBoot service stops. Solution: Click the "start" button in the main interface of
CCBoot, start the CCBoot service.
f. The server port needed by DHCP is blocked. Solution: open port 67 on the server.
g. The client is not added to the user list of CCBoot and the server of CCBoot hasn’t
enabled the "auto add client" option.
3. Stops at the TFTP

In the process of booting the client, DHCP can obtain the IP address of the server, but it
stops at the location of "TFTP" and the error of TFTP occurs.
www.ccboot.com
a. CCBoot hasn’t started the TFTP service.

b. The firewall of the server system does not open TFTP port, solution: to open port 69 in
the firewall.
c. Reset up TFTP.
Solution: On the "DHCP Setting" uncheck the "start TFTP" checkbox and click the "Ok"
button, and again check the checkbox of the "start TFTP".
d. On new motherboards, sometimes "gpxe.pxe" and "gpxex.pxe " will take much time to
start windows booting. In this case you can use "ipxe.pxe" (Figure 1).
Figure 1
4. Stops at www.ccboot.com
PXE's loading file problem. The default PXE file doesn’t support some special network
card.
Solution: Change PXE file, the default "gpxe.pxe" to "gpxex.pxe" and click the "Ok"
button (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Note: It would be better to use "gpxe.pxe", but if you cannot diskless boot the client using
"gpxe.pxe", you can try to change the PXE value to "gpxe0.pxe". If this doesn't work, please
modify the value to "gpxex.pxe". If Realtek 8111E NIC has blue screen problem, you can try to
change the PXE value to "ipxe.pxe".
5. No more network devices/iSCSI boot 192.168.0.1::3260:: error occurs

When booting the client, the error of "iSCSI boot 192.168.0.1: 3260: No more network devices"
occurs.
The reasons of error and the solution are as follows:
a. Format writeback disk if you see "No more network devices" and "Not supported".
b. The trial version of CCBoot only supports 5 users, if the number exceeds 5, it will stop at
"iSCSI boot 192.168.0.1: 3260". Solution: Purchase the serial number and register.
c. The registered number has been exceeded. Solution: Add license number.
d. In the 32-bit operating system, the single process shall not exceed 1.6 G. When the
CCBoot process reaches 1.6 G, the CCBoot server can no longer allocate memory and
then error occurs. Solution: Change the server into the 64-bit operating system.
e. The router has opened DHCP and it has disturbed the normal operation of the client.
Solution: shut down the inbuilt DHCP of the router.
f. In the LAN, other software has opened DHCP functions. Solution: temporarily shut this
software and reboot it after the client is in normal startling.
g. The disturbing of the DHCP for CCBoot. For example: in the same LAN, there are two
CCBoot servers, two servers are prepared for the load balance (please check the
"Multiple server load balance" chapters for more detail). If server A deletes the client PC
101 while the client PC101 is rebooting, it stops at the "No more network devices".
www.ccboot.com
Solution: open the installation folder of server B, copy the "db.xml" file to the installation
folder of server A and replace the file of the same name.
h. If the "Disk Group" has not been assigned, please select a disk group.
i. Maybe the BIOS battery has no power.
j. The image has problems.
k. The client of the CCBoot property doesn’t set the "Boot Server Address".
l. Haven't set the correct writeback path in the CCBoot client properties.
m. Set proper target name for iSCSI target (figure 3) , for example:
iqn.2008-13.com.ccboot.200
Figure 3
6. Diagnostics by read size

www.ccboot.com
1K - you use UEFI images when the bios is configured legacy.

Solution: Use legacy images with legacy boot type configured on the bios.
300-500K - You used wrong pxe for the client PC

Solution: Try other pxe
60-180M - Your image does not have the correct NIC driver for your motherboard.
Solution: Add NIC drivers from local.

200-700M - Your image does not have some critical drivers for your PC.
Solution: Enable super client and turn on PC then wait until PC restarts once, after that it will
boot properly.
www.ccboot.com
7. Blue screen when the client boots
Cause and solution are as follows:

1. The physical RAM of the client has problems.
Solution: Change the client physical RAMS.
2. The network driver has problems.
Solution: change other versions of network card driver.
3. Software conflict (for example, billing software).
Solution: uninstall some software which can cause conflicts.
4. The problem of images package.
Solution: Remade image package.
8. Automatic restart
Before the client boots to desktop and reboot automatically, the causes and solutions are as
follows:
1. When the client writes, the cache setting of the client is too big and the client starts
automatically.
Solution: Adjust the size of client write cache.
2. Problem of network card driver.
Solution: Change the versions of network card driver.
Slow boot speed when multiple client boot simultaneously

Problem:
It takes about 1 minute to boot one client PC, but when all clients boot simultaneously, it takes a
very long time (about 15 minutes to boot 50 client PCs). The clients boot speed is too slow.
The common issue for having slow diskless booting is listed bellow
1. The Server and Client is not Gigabit LAN speed

www.ccboot.com
2. The Image is not properly optimized

3. Server and client network are not properly optimized also
4. Faulty Image disk and Write-Back disk
Solution:
1. Please check whether the flow control is disabled in the switch and server NIC
properties. If not, please disable it.
2. Use SSD for image disk instead of traditional HDD.
3. Also use SSD for write-back disk instead of traditional HDD.
4. Check if your client's NIC is working at 100M instead of 1G.(cable, switch or NIC may
have issue)
5. Add another NIC to the server and load balance two NIC to boot the client faster. (NIC
teaming)
6. Add more RAM cache to the image disk.
7. Enable client cache
www.ccboot.com
Client stops booting at the Windows logo

When the client boots, if it always stops at Windows Logo, and no longer reads data from the
server, you can find some causes and solutions below.
1. The client NIC driver is not proper. You can install the latest NIC driver before uploading
the image (You can download the latest NIC driver from the respective vendor’s
website). Sometimes you need to install the "RISC" type driver of the NIC (such as
NVIDIA and BROADCOM).
2. The client IP is in conflict with other LAN IP addresses. You can re-assign another IP to
the client.
3. Some smart switches have IP-MAC binding functions. You can cancel the switch IP-
MAC binding or rebind all machines IP and MAC addresses.
4. When the hard disk installed machine boots diskless, then error occurs. Solution:
Remove the hard disk or disable HDD on BIOS.
5. If the operating system of the client is Windows 7 x64, before installing CCBoot Client,
please install the Windows latest updates even if your system is already installed SP1.
6. In CCBoot Cloud CP click the "DHCP" tab, and then click the "Scan DHCP" button to
check whether there are other DHCP services on the LAN, if so, please disable other
DHCP service, especially in the router.
7. When you use different switches, some can diskless boot successfully, some stops at
Windows Logo when booting, you can try to change the PXE value from "gpxe.pxe" to
"ipxe.pxe" in "Edit Client" modal.
8. If you have a wireless card or multiple NICs, just leave the NIC used to boot from LAN,
and disable the other NICs in Device Manager before installing CCBoot client, and then
upload the image.
9. Sometimes, some billing softwares, filter softwares, Windows firewall and antivirus
software etc. may also cause diskless boot failure. We have tested the following
softwares, and they work with CCBoot successfully. If your software is not in the
following list, you can send an email to support@youngzsoft.net, tell us your software, let
us check it and find a solution.
Note:
www.ccboot.com
CCBoot works with these billing softwares: CafeSuite, SmartLaunch, CyberCafePro, Handy
Cafe, Pinoy Big Timer, Easy Cafe, Antamedia, EZ Timebilling, PC Time Logger, Timer
Professional, CMS and Truecafe etc.
CCBoot works with these filter softwares: TRedFilterCafe and WinpkFilter (For details, please
refer to "TRedFilterCafe and WinpkFilter").
10. The ARP driver has been installed. Solution: Remove the installed ARP driver.
11. If the client gets IP from a third party DHCP, sometimes, you cannot boot it. Windows 7
creates an explicit route to your iSCSI target using your default gateway. This means if
your target is on the same LAN, your router must be prepared to route local LAN traffic
(which normally it would not do as the initiator and target could communicate directly).
Some strict firewall settings or router will prevent this kind of routing which will cause
Windows 7 booting failure. For example, using Shorewall you need to enable the
"routeback" setting on the LAN interface. If using OpenWrt (without shorewall) add this
to /etc/firewall.user (create this file if absent):
iptables -A forwarding_lan -i br-lan -o br-lan -j ACCEPT
Another solution: Don't set a gateway on the third party DHCP, and just set a gateway in
the CCBoot client properties. It may be the memory connection problem, please take
the memory out and clean it.
If you have installed an Antivirus program on the server, it can cause the client to stop
booting and get stuck at the logo as well. So, to fix it, you have to uninstall the antivirus
programs.
12. If you are using a newer motherboard - z370 chipset boards with Realtek NIC, then you
may also get stuck at the logo. To fix it,
a. You have to install NIC drivers from Realtek’s website and do not use Microsoft
installed drivers.
b. When you install CCBoot Client in the OS before uploading an image, do not
click the "Yes" button when it asks to optimize Windows.
www.ccboot.com
Windows 8 boot failure in pxe boot

Before installing Windows 8 on the client, you need to do the following four steps first.
1. Open command prompt with administrator privilege then type “bcdedit /debug off”
2. Press Win + R
3. compmgmt.msc
4. In the left side of the "Computer Management" form, click the "Device Manager". Then,
in the right side of the form, expand "Network adapters", right click the "Microsoft Kernel
Debug Network Adapter" and select "Disable" (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Sometimes, you may encounter the problem that the client with Windows 8 OS installed cannot
PXE boot successfully. It is because the “bootmgr” file is stored in the hidden partition rather
than C:. But you cannot simply remove the hidden partition. Instead, you have to move the
bootmgr and restore it to C. The steps are as follows.
1. Assign a drive letter to the hidden partition (such as e:\).
2. Run cmd as administrator.
3. Type reagentc /disable
www.ccboot.com
4. Type dir /a C:\Windows\System32\Recovery to see whether winre.wim is in the recovery

folder.
5. Type reg unload HKLM\BCD00000000
6. Type robocopy e:\ c:\ bootmgr (Note that there is a space between c:\ and bootmgr).
7. Type robocopy e:\Boot c:\Boot /s
8. Type dir c:\ /ah to check if the bootmgr and Boot folder is in the C:
9. Type bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} device partition=C:
10. Type bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {memdiag} device partition=C:
11. Close cmd.
12. Go to diskmgmt.msc to remove the hidden partition drive letter e:\, and then mark C: as
active (Note: Restart the client PC first, then delete the hidden partition).
13. Run cmd as administrator.
14. Type reagentc /enable
15. Run diskmgmt.msc to delete the hidden partition.
16. Try to restart the client PC again to see if it can boot to the desktop.
By following the procedures above, now, you can PXE boot Windows 8 successfully.

TFTP Open Timeout Error

When trying to diskless boot a client, it stops booting by giving the following message on the
screen.
PXE-E32:TFTP open timeout
PXE-M0F:Exiting PXE ROM.
DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
When CCBoot server starts sometime it is not able to get IP from server NIC to set in CCBoot
as DHCP/TFTP server IP. This leads to "TFTP open timeout" error.
For example, if you have forgotten to plug the network cable, you will get this error.
Solution 1:
Just restart CCBoot service to fix it.
Solution 2:
If this problem is about network optimization, please re-enable large send offload (Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
Solution 3:
Try to downgrade the BIOS and Realtek boot agent version. For example, downgrade Realtek
boot agent v.2.32 to v.2.24.
Solution 4:
Try to disable your router's DHCP and the CCBoot server should only be your DHCP provider.
Solution 5:
If Router’s DHCP Server cannot be disabled on your network, then try to adjust your routers IP
range assignment far from your CCBoot start and end IP range, sometimes this can also cause
“PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout” error.
Solution 6:
www.ccboot.com
When CCbootCloud server does not have a connection for a few hours to the cloud, check your
firewall and internet connection on the server side. The CCBootCloud server status should have
a green color (Figure 2).

Client PC boot error with “\BOOT\BCD” disk signature conflict

In some Internet cafes, when you cannot disable HDD in the BIOS, and don't want to remove
the HDD either then you may use some other ways to not boot from HDD or disable HDD.
In this situation, when the client diskless boot, the CCBoot client's image disk may conflict with
the existing HDD, then you may get disk signature ID conflict. Thus, when you use super client
mode to update an image, it may change CCBoot client's image disk signature.
However, changing the image disk signature is not allowed in Windows 7, and may show "\
BOOT\BCD" error during diskless boot.
Solution:
1. You need to remove the hard disk physically or disconnect its SATA cable.
2. You can try another client as a super client, and see if the error is not shown.
Note: Some users tend to delete the 100MB partition of Windows 7 without properly migrating
the boot files and recreate the BCD. Then at that time, the client will also get the /Boot/BCD
error.
Refer How to Remove the Windows "System Reserved" Partition to properly delete the 100MB
partition
Solutions for TPLINK NICs' Failing Reboot

Sometimes, if the client's NIC type is TPLINK-8139 or TPLINK-8169, after rebooting the client,
you may find that the NIC indicator light is off, what's worse, clients can't connect to the CCBoot
server, and you have to disconnect the power and reboot the computer. If this happens, you can
solve this problem according to the following methods.
● If the above problem happens in the TPLINK-8169 NIC, then you need to upgrade the
NIC driver to version 5.719.
● Update the CCBoot Client version 20170817 or higher.
● Upgrade the PXE ROM.

External NIC Failing Boot

CCBoot does support booting from external NIC (addon NIC)
There are many addon NIC available on the market. Some are PCI, PCIe x1. etc
But most of them fail to boot when used in a diskless environment.
Firstly, to support PXE boot (Diskless boot) all Addon NIC needs to have Boot Rom chip
installed in the socket.
Below see Addon NIC with and without Boot Rom chip installed.
Figure 1
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
Figure 1 and Figure 2 are Addon NICs that don't have a boot rom chip in them, hence these NIC
are not able to boot from Network even if they are Gigabit NIC.
Note: Avoid buying NIC without boot rom chip if you are looking to use it for diskless boot
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
Figure 3 has boot rom chip installed in it hence this addon NIC is able to boot from LAN (i.e.
diskless boot)
To use addon NIC as primary NIC for diskless booting, please disable onboard NIC in the BIOS.
Note: If the External LAN has boot rom chip and still the client fails to boot,
then you need to disable the build in LAN for the motherboard from the BIOS.
Note: Also, if the client boots but gets stuck at ccboot.com screen after reading about 400KB
data,
then change the pxe option for the client to "gpxex.pxe" or “gpxe0.pxe".
Note: If you are able to boot from the external NIC, but get stuck at the Windows logo screen,
then it means the driver for the external NIC is not present in the image.
To solve this, you need to add the driver for the external NIC to the image, following one of two
methods below.
1. Add NIC driver to the image
2. Collect NIC PNP from client PC with OS installed in HDD
www.ccboot.com
Windows 10 slow boot after driver installs

When you boot a client in super client mode it boots slow
Reason:
When booting a client in super client mode to install drivers or applications, it does not use client
cache to cache files that are loaded during booting. hence the boot speed is longer (slower).
And when you reboot the client after installing drivers, the data is being sent to the server so it's
slow to boot.
Solution:
Once you have finished installing drivers, disable the super client and then save the image.
Once the data has been saved, boot the client normally, it will be slow at first, then reboot the
client and it will boot faster as the image data is cached on the server. First boot on any diskless
system is slower than the subsequent boots.
Also, make sure that you have "Enabled Client Cache" check and set, client cache helps in boot
up of clients.
Fix SkyLake client boot issue

Problem:
The new SkyLake processor brought a lot of performance for the computers, but also brought
issues along with it.
Mainly in booting clients diskless. When you try to boot a client with motherboard with Z170 or
Asus H110M-K and some H110 or H170 chipset, it will be stuck at the logo.
Solution 1
1) On the CCBoot Cloud CP “Computers” tab, right click the client and choose “Edit pc”
(Figure 1).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
2) In the pop-up modal, click the "PXE" drop-down and then choose "ipxe.pxe". Then click
the "Save" button to save the settings (Figure 2).
Figure 6
www.ccboot.com
1) After that test the diskless booting, and if still not working proceed to solution 2
Solution 2:
Add nic drivers to the image for the skylake pc.

KabyLake client boot issue

Problem:
Client will take IP from CCBoot server or boot from LAN
Solution:
Some of the motherboard BIOS has to be updated to support the KabyLake processor and
when you update the BIOS all the settings are reset.
To fix this issue, you need to enable "Network Stack" from the "Advanced" tab in the BIOS once
again to make it boot from LAN (Figure 1)
Figure 1
www.ccboot.com
Fix randomly rebooting clients

When you have installed many applications on the image, they tend to have some scheduled
task created on the OS. This sometimes causes the client to restart without any blue screen.
Here is how you can fix it. Here we have Windows 10 clients.
Before continuing this, put one client on super client and then boot.
1. Open "Task Scheduler" from the control panel (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. Click "Task Schedule Library", on the middle select the unwanted schedules (Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
3. Right click, then click "Disable" option (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
4. Now the status for the schedules will change to "Disabled" (Figure 4).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
5. Turn off the client, then disable the super client and then save the changes.
6. After the above is done, you will not experience any random reboots.
Another cause of CCBoot client PCs random reboot is not the same version of CCBoot server
and client.
To fix this issue just upgrade the CCBoot server and client and make sure they are the same
version.
Some user sets too much client cache, such as "Auto" or 4096 Mb, a setting of too much client
cache could result in unstable client PCs performance.
Client cache with 512MB to 1024MB was good enough.
In case if you have Dell PCs and you installed any Dell services your PCs can randomly reboot
each 8-15 min, or delete these services or create a new image, because these services can
cause disconnects of iSCSI protocol.

Fix CCBoot client boot failed on Windows Server

When booting a client from CCBoot which is installed in Windows Server, it can fail to boot with
an error “Could not initialize iSCSI device: Not supported” (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Cause:
The issue is caused by one of the roles in Windows Server called "iSCSI Target Server"
This role creates iscsi service on the server which conflicts with CCBoot iSCSI service and
causes clients to fail to boot (Figure 2)..
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
To fix this problem, you need to either start and stop CCBoot and then reboot the client or
"iSCSI Server Target" role from Windows Server.
Stops at PXE-E78
When a client computer PXE boots, it will return PXE E78: Could not locate the boot server.
The problem is that the network is not forwarding the correct data across the network. You can
troubleshoot this by simply following the steps below.
1. Problem of the firewall. Make sure CCBoot is allowed in the firewall (Figure 1)
www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
2. Problem of Boot server IP address not configured properly. Make sure your CCBoot
server ip address and DHCP settings is set correctly.
a. Open Command-line and Check your IP address using ipconfig command
(Figure 2).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
b. Set boot IP address. Make sure DHCP Server IP is your CCBoot Server IP
address (Figure 3).
www.ccboot.com
Figure 3
3. The CCBoot service stops. Click the START button in the main interface of CCBoot,
start the CCBoot service (Figure 4) .
www.ccboot.com

Fix origin games showing Download issue

Origin games require game registry to be present for each installed game on the operating
system to work properly.
In case of full diskless or half diskless setup, if the game was installed on the server, then the
game will show "Download" instead of "Play".
1. First of all install origin on the game disk. The Origin games need to be installed on the
main game disk, and the folder should be “Game_disk:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
Games”.
2. Close the Origin and all related processes.
3. Apply game fixes or enable Origin and Origin games on iCafeCloud.
4. If you already have the games on your server, please add reg files first.

Reduce lag caused by Fortnite

Issue 1: Clients in the network lag when Fortnite games are played in some clients.
Cause: The cause of the lag comes when Fortnite is reading game data; it uses up all the
network bandwidth.
if more clients are playing Fortnite, then more lag it creates on other clients.
Solution:
1. Add more client cache for your clients - normally for 8GB clients we recommend 1024 MB
cache, if you have Fortnite games played often, then increase it up to 2048 MB.
2. Add more NIC on the server - adding additional NIC on the server and teaming them will
allow clients to have more bandwidth to use. This helps to reduce load on the network, as a
result the client lag is reduced.
Notes: For 10-20 PCs cafe/center, 2 NIC on the server need to be teamed. For more
information on teaming, please refer our wiki Team your NICs on CCBoot Server
Thank you Mohamed, for confirming the reduction on client lag, after teaming the 2 NIC.

Fix low FPS issue in game

There are many factors that play a role in low FPS issues. Some of them are listed below as
well as their solution.
1. Server NIC speed
When you have more clients booting from CCBoot server, having only 1 NIC - 1gbps is not
enough and clients run into low FPS issues due to client PCs not able to load game files fast
enough.
To solve this, use multiple NIC on the server, preferable is Dual NIC or Quad NIC (Server NIC
teaming) depending on the number of client PCs you have.
2. No SSD Cache
www.ccboot.com
SSD Caches help clients read game files faster as once the game files are cache in ssd cache,
clients read from SSD cache if any files are not available in RAM cache. If you have not set
SSD cache, then clients will read directly from the Game disk which causes the games to load
slower as reading directly from game disk is slower than SSD cache.
To solve this, you need to set an SSD to be used as SSD cache for the game disk
Note: Even if your game disk is SSD, you still need to use and set up an SSD cache for it.
3. Game settings
Normally, users' graphics card performance is limited but they set the game visual settings to
High, then they will get Low FPS.
To solve this, there are 2 ways.
a. Get a better graphics cards
b. set the game visual settings to match your graphics card and play the game.
4. Graphics cards driver
Graphics card drivers also affect the FPS for games, if you are using an older driver which is not
optimized for the game you are playing, then you can get low FPS. So always keep the drivers
updated.
Note: Some time new drivers may have issues and can cause low FPS, these drivers need to
be optimized for the games. So if you experience low FPS after installing new drivers, then you
should downgrade the drivers to the previous one.
5. Writeback disk 0% idle
If you are having low FPS and lag as well then you need to check your writeback disk for 0%
idle issue. If Writeback is not able to keep up with your client writeback then it can result in low
FPS and lagging issues.
To solve this, you need to optimize your writeback disk. some of the ways are listed below
www.ccboot.com
a. Replace current writeback disk with better SSD - write optimized SSD
b. Increase or decrease writeback disk cache to match your writeback disk
c. Format writeback disk - so that any corrupt data will be removed allowing for smoother writes
to the writeback disk
d. Never use hdd for any disk for CCBoot, Always use SSD
6. Optimize your client OS
There are many ways you can optimize your OS for game, below are some of articles related to
it
Low Frame Rate (FPS) Troubleshooting
How to fix Windows 10 low FPS issues
7. Use Local Writeback disk (use this if you have spare hdd or ssd on client)
Local writeback means that the client PC will use a local harddisk or ssd to save its writeback
data. In doing so, the network activity is lowered and allows the client to have better read from
the server.
This helps to improve clients performance as well as to improve FPS for the games. Also in
using Local Writeback some games like PUBG, CSGO which have much data read and write
see significant improvement for FPS.
(Read more about local writeback functions.)
8. Client NIC optimization
When optimizing the client NIC, not all clients will get better performance as each client NIC is
different. So for some clients, you need to disable only "Flow Control" in the NIC properties.

Fix issues in PUBG game

Problem 1:
When the game is loading, the rendering of the scene takes time and lag in game play.
Solution:
1. If you are using Single HDD for game disk then add one more HDD and put them in
RAID 0
2. If you do not have an SSD cache set for the Game disk then set SSD Cache.
3. If your clients have 8GB RAM then set 1 GB as client cache, and if you have 16 GB then
set 2 GB as client cache.
4. Optimize the game visual settings so the game plays out smoothly.

Solution 2:
1. Boot the client in super client mode and update the steam client.
2. Once updated, open the steam folder and look for the "Package" folder.
3, Copy this folder to the server "Steam" folder and overwrite it.
4. Now, clients won't show updates for steam again.

www.ccboot.com
Note: If your client OS is Windows 7 and server is different OS
then you should not open steam on the server as every time you open steam on your server, it
will change some files and the client will again download files for Windows 7.
Game CD Key Conflict

Every game has a different registry that stores information such as the Game installation
directory or game CD key.
Problem:
Game gives an error for the CD Key.
Solution:
Have 1 CD key per computer you have.
The solution to fix Game CD key conflict is to have 1 CD key for each computer.
Problem:
How do you have a CD key for each computer when all computers are booting from an image?
Solution:
Make a CD key added to each computer when it boots. To do this you can use a reg file with all
the registry entries for CD Key required for the games you have. A sample can be downloaded
from here.
1. Download the registry files from this link.
2. Extract it to your game disk (Figure 1).

www.ccboot.com
Figure 1
3. Now, open CCBootCloud CP and then the settings, check the checkbox for "Run Batch
Command at Client" and then click the '>>" button (Figure 2)
www.ccboot.com
Figure 2
4. It will open "Public.txt" file, in the file paste the commands below and save it (FIgure 3)
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=:" %%a in ('ipconfig^|find "IPv4"') do (set ip=%%b)

set ip=%ip:~1%
regedit.exe /s "E:\reg\%ip%.reg"
www.ccboot.com
Note: Please change "D:" to match your game disk drive letter and the name of the reg files
should be <ip>.reg
You can rename the registry from the extracted folder to match your IP addresses.
example 192.168.1.100.reg , 192.168.10.200.reg, etc
Figure 3
5. Now, turn on your clients and run the games that have CD Key conflicts. They will work
without error.
6. If you want to add more registry to the reg files, then open a registry file reg folder (Figure 4)
www.ccboot.com
Figure 4
7. Then, add the registry for the game at the end of the file (Figure 5)
www.ccboot.com
Figure 5
Important: You have to add the registry to all the reg files.
