I experienced a bit with my EX 475 and to make a long story short I managed to delete the contents of the SMI USB drive. Wanting to revert to WHS so I can sell the box I'm stuck on a "bootmgr missing" message when trying to do the paper-clip server restore procedure. No kidding since I deleted the USB drive (I know, very stupid).
Anyone know of a way to restore the contents of the SMI USB drive? Is there an image on the server recovery CD I can use or something?
