Trying to install WHS 2011 on my EX490, but i just can't seem to get the machine to boot from the USB-stick.

I have a USB-stick that perfectly fine performs an unattended install on my desktop computer, but when i put it in the lower back USB-port on my MSS at power on nothing happens. There are some lights going on and off, but i gather this is nothing to make any sense of as there are no drivers for them.

Now i'm at a loss. Can anyone help?

Found other posts here stating that boot sequence on MSS's is somewhat like playing bingo...

Started the install on my desktop, and then moved the HDD over to the EX490 at the time fo the first boot.

As for the cfg.ini i skipped that and used an xml-file instead; AutoUnattend.xml with som modifications did the trick. Can post the file here if people are interested. This is IN STEAD OF the cfg.ini, not in addition to it. The recipe is found on http://www.mediacenterblog.info/2011/06 ... dless.html

Hopefully this will help some of you. Now it's time for Mr Adams and his ever tasty Boston Lager to celebrate
