File Sharing
Add a folder to the drive called bootdrv an install aloha inside that folder, share the folder and give permissions to the share for the aloha user.
The installation application 6.4 and greater should create the share for you, but if you plan to share only a folder as BOOTDRV, then you need to create the folder prior to installing the Aloha Aloha pos help manual.

You must disable Microsoft Data Execution Prevention (DEP) on the file server. To do this, right-click on the short-cut to the command prompt and select 'Run as administrator'. Run the following command from the command prompt:
Bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff

Configure the processor priority to 'Background services' by accessing the System Properties and clicking Advanced/(Performance) Settings/Advanced.

Install the Aloha POS software using the .msi file on the installation CD.

Edit your BOOTDRV share to ensure that the proper users have read/write access to the contents BOOTDRV share.
Firewall
By default, the Windows built-in firewall will not allow the FOH terminals to interact with the file server. In this case, you must either disable the Windows firewall if you are using a third-party or external fire wall, or you must configure the Windows firewall to allow the proper access.
If using a version earlier than 6.4.30 you must set up the Aloha environment varaibles manually on the file server.
