   5. Open the installation folder of rpiboot, double-click with the left mouse button to execute rpiboot.exe
   6. Observe the computer side until CM4 becomes a computer disk, then release the button.

4. Use official SDFormatter to format and clean the disk. Open the SDFormatter software, select the drive, click on option settings, set the logical size adjustment to the on state, click OK, and then proceed with the formatting operation. Unsuccessful, continue with the previous operation and reformat it.
