…tion of installation guide Added a message about how to get around windows dialog prompt when copying from NTFS filesystems (Most of what Windows users will be copying from) to FAT which the iron uses. This is an extremely common problem for Windows users, and I'd like to put in a tested workaround in the guide as it would have saved me about 15 minutes on what would have been a 20 second install. I believe this will be of similar benefit to most Windows users.

Added a message about how to get around windows dialog prompt that was causing the iron to prematurely reboot before user has a chance to click yes on the prompt to actually begin the copy when copying from NTFS filesystems (Most of what Windows users will be copying from) to the filesystem which the iron uses.
This is an extremely common problem for Windows users, and I'd like to put in a tested workaround in the guide as it would have saved me about 15 minutes on what would have been a 20 second install.

What is the current behavior?
Using the guide as it was, the iron was prematurely rebooting before I could click the confirmation on the windows dialog to actually begin the copy.
I have not checked if there is a current open issue. This is something that I experienced personally and (As far as I know) something most Windows users will experience, since it is an issue for all file copies from NTFS to FAT filesystems. Under normal circumstances you can press yes, and the file will copy, the reason this doesn't work for the TS80p is there's some sort of trigger that something is copying that the iron sees and so by the time you press Yes on the dialog, the Iron is already trying to install from a file that hasn't fully copied yes, which disconnects the iron and so the copy cannot take place.
What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
The user can update the Iron to the IronOS firmware properly now with this addendum.
