Yesterday I tried to use HP’s Drive Key Boot Utility to make a bootable USB flash drive with Server 2008 . I was not successful. I’m not exactly sure why as I’ve used it to install XP Embedded from a USB flash drive before. Regardless I gave up and looked for another solution. Now there are plenty of solutions floating around on the internet but all seemed to rely on a 3rd party solution for creating the boot sector. After a bit of web sleuthing, I finally found a working solution. Now we are happily running Server 2008!
Yes, I understand that there are easy solutions other than a bootable USB flash drive but I’m stubborn. And this solution should allow me to get rid of a lot of disks and keep a handful of .iso files instead. Now just to up the nerdery with a sweet Star Wars USB mod.
This post doesn’t mean anything to me, but thank you for blogging
