1. Make sure that you have created your bootable USB stick by using the latest Blancco USB Creator version.
2. Boot the computer from the USB stick.
3. Select any startup mode (FLR / native / safe / messages).
4. Press “e” to edit the command before booting.
5. From version 5.8 to 5.10: Add “cr” to the end of the following string: “linux /isolinux/vmlinuz”, currently vmlinuz …”. Currently “memtest=00” is the last parameter, so “cr” should be added right after it: “memtest=00 cr” (note the space in between the parameters).
   From version 6.1 onward:  Add “cr” to the end of the following string: “linux /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz …”. If “flr” is the last parameter, “cr” should be added right after it: “flr cr” (note the space in between the parameters).”
6. Press Ctrl + “x” or F10 to continue booting.

1. Make sure that you have a FAT32-formatted USB stick connected to the computer.
2. The USB stick has to be labeled as: BLANCCO
3. Boot the computer (from optical media/network/MSI).
4. Press up or down arrow key, before the first Blancco screen appears, to access the boot menu.
5. Select any startup mode (FLR / native / safe / messages).
6. Press Tab key to access startup options.
7. Add “cr” to the end of the line, and remember to add a space in between the parameters, and press Enter.

In manual mode (when the “cr” parameter is used), one smaller report package ("early booting report") is created during the startup phase and it contains Linux booting logs, which are collected at very early stage. The booting logs are quite generic and do not contain any Blancco specific information, so the information is not encrypted like with the issue and crash report files. The full crash report contains the same information early booting report information, so this file is mostly meant for the worst case scenarios when there is nothing else available.
