The past two days I've been slapping together my first HTPC and I'm running into things I've never had to deal with before.
To begin, my setup is an MSI E350IS-E45 (AMD Zecate), brand new RealSSD C300 64GB, Mini-Box E350 w/ 80W picoPSU, and 2GB of GSkill DDR3 that I've been using in my desktop for the last 6 months. That's my entire system.
Since I've got no optical drive (this is the thing I've never had to deal with before) I tried using RT7Lite to load Windows 7 home prem and slipstreamed SP1 onto a brand new 16GB USB thumbdrive. No matter what I attempt to boot off of I get the same message "No Operating System Found" right after the system posts.
I figured the RT7Lite thing was corrupt so I wiped the USB drive an copy/pasted my Win7 install files directly from the disc into my USB drive and get the exact same result of "No Operating System Found". Well duh...I'm trying to install it!!!
What am I doing wrong?
