Once you have started the java uploader you should see this window pop up on your screen.
Please follow the following steps and then click the Start button.
- Ensure that the 'CD/DVD drive or folder' field is set to the location of your disk. Usually the CD/DVD drive is designated as the 'd' drive as you can see in the image above. If you aren't sure of the letter designation of your CD/DVD drive, click the search folder icon to the right of the input field to locate the drive which contains your disk.
- In most cases the 'Temporary file folder' input field will be pre-filled for you. If it is blank, please enter c:\tempSP as we have entered in the image above. The contents of the temporary folder are erased once the upload is completed.
- You may click the 'Save my input for future use' checkbox to ensure that the CD/DVD drive and Temporary file folder choices you've made will be automatically filled in for you the next time you run the importer.
- 'Enable logging', if checked, will create a log file for diagnostic purposes should something go wrong with the upload process.

There are times when the uploader searches for DICOM images but returns a message "No DICOM files were found". Most of the time this indicates a damaged disk but it is possible that the message is the result of a corrupted file on the disk named DICOMDIR. Checking the 'Ignore DICOMDIR' option will tell the uploader to ignore this file and perform a more thorough, and therefore slower, search of the disk. There is no guarantee that this method will find DICOM images on the disk as the disk may actually be damaged.
