  1. Create folder structure for acquired disk images, imaging and related documentation, and extracted files (use copies):

    1. In N:\E_Accn, create folder for the transfer in either the Archives or Manuscripts folder. If accessioning to the archives, use the following folder structure and naming conventions as below:

      Image RemovedImage Added

      Note: 3rd level folder contains the Office Number and Office Name; 4th level folder has the Series Number and Series Name; 5th level folder should be named using the Accession Number. If processor does not have an accession number, use date of transfer: DOT_20131016 to name folder. All files and documentation live within the fifth level folder.

      In the fifth folder, create three folders:

                                     i.    Disk Images (Masters)
                                     ii.   Documentation
                                     iii.  UseCopies

      If acquiring a manuscript collection, use the following folder structure and naming conventions as below:

      Image RemovedImage Added

      All files and documentation live within the third level folder.

      In the third folder, create three folders:

                     i.    Disk Images (Masters)
                     ii.   Documentation
                     iii.  UseCopies

       

  2. Connect external device via USB or Firewire to FRED workstation, if needed.

    1. A 3.5” disk drive and an Iomega ZIP drive are already connected to the station. These drives should not be detached from the FRED post-use.

    2. Connect external hard drives via USB using the available slot at the top of the FRED station (where the 3.5 and ZIP drives are connected).

    3.  The CD/DVD drive is in the center of the FRED tower (the drive with the LG logo).

    4. Flash/Compact/Stick media should be inserted in the USB 3 slot in the “Imaging Shelf” area.

    5. Computer hard drives may also be attached to the FRED tower using one of the “empty” trays. Do not attempt to remove and install a hard drive on your own; contact Judy Sclarsky or Casey Rock.

  3. On a piece of notepaper, write down the electronic media number for the disk/drive to be imaged. Leave out any zeros at the beginning of the number.

  4. Insert external media in the appropriate drive.

    1. If imaging 3.5” floppy disks, make sure to write-protect the disk by sliding the tab so that the window is “open” (meaning you can see through the disk).

    2. For 5.25" disks, the "write notch" must be blocked manually on the disk. The notch (if the media is single-sided) or notches (if the media is double-sided) are on the opposite end of the jacket from the read slot (where you can see the surface of the disk). Fold a piece of sturdy tape (not Scotch tape) over the slot(s). The original write-block adhesive tabs may be included if the original packaging has come with the disk. Check and see if they still work before using tape.

  5. Create disk image using FTK Imager.

    1. Open FTK Imager

    2.  Go to File-->Create Disk Image
      NOTE: Please refer to pages 96-97 of the AccessData manual for instructions on how to create a Custom Content Image.

    3. Pick the Logical Drive option and click on Next.

    4. From the list of available drives, pick the one for the device and click Finish.

      1. 3.5” disk drive is Drive A

      2. CD/DVD drive is Drive F

      3. ZIP drive is Drive I

      4. USB port is Drive J

    5. Click on Add.

      1. Pick a destination “Image Type” (file format). Use .E01 if presented options; otherwise, use the file format suggested by FTK. 
        NOTE: If creating an image of a CD or DVD, FTK skips this step because all CD/DVD images are created in the IsoBuster CUE format. Additionally, hashes are not generated for CD and DVD images so they will not be verified, as well.

      2. Fill out Evidence Item Information form and the click Next
        NOTE: If creating an image of a CD or DVD, FTK skips this step.

        1. The Case Number = the collection number (for example: H MS c123)

        2. The Evidence Number = the accession number, if known (otherwise, leave blank)

        3. The Unique Description = the electronic media number without the initial zeros (for example: 167)
        4. The Examiner = the name of the processor in Last name, First name format (for example: Gustainis, Emily) 
      3. Next to “Image Destination Folder,” click on Browse. Locate the “Disk Images (Masters)” folder for the  collection. (For example: N:\E_Proc\FolkmanJudah\Disk Images (Masters)).
      4. Enter the electronic media number in the image filename box.
    6. Click on Finish to continue.
    7. Make sure that the “Verify images after they are created” and the “Create directory listings of all files in the image after they are created” checkboxes are checked.

    8. Click Start. A window will open, indicating progress on the disk imaging and directory creation process.

    9. When the process is complete, click on Close (for all open windows).

  6. Verify the disk image was created. Go to the Disk Images (Masters) folder created for the collection and verify the disk image and supporting processes documentation files were created (a .txt document detailing processes and checksums and a spreadsheet for the disk directory). DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE DISK IMAGE.

  7.  In Disk Images (Masters), create a new folder to cut and paste from Disk Images (Masters) to the “Documentation” folder. Name the folder using the electronic media number. For example: 161_documentation. Put the .txt and the spreadsheet generated by FTK in this folder. 

  8. Cut the folder and paste it in Documentation.

  9. Exit FTK.
