I'm assuming this is the correct sub-forum as it's about installing an OS..
Right, basically I bought a HP N40L microserver. Which doesn't have an optical drive.
I also have Windows Home Server 2011. On a disk.
What are my options? Can't really be bothered to find a spare disk drive, or dismantle the server to connect it anyway.
I guess I can either:
A)Rip the disk and install it from USB (can I actually do that? how easy would it be?)
B) Take the HDD out of the server, and put it in my PC and install. Again, is there anything I need to know about that approach?
Cheers,
Rob
