	Skill level: Medium
	The instructions on this page require a basic knowledge of linux.

Note: I'm using Windows 7 - this work on Win7, should work on XP and later

In your new Hardware ...

Boot from USB
Select Install from Hard Disk
Choose Partition
- Generally it will be the last partition
- it was /dev/sda1 when no partition, sde1 when I re-installed on the HP Microserver
- I left the path blank

Originally I used pendrivlinux.com, UNetbootin was a lot simpler

	Note:
	5th July 2013: I found that unetbootin-windows-585.exe expanded the smeserver-8.0-i386.iso onto the USB stick (creating the directory structure etc), thus there was no .iso image to be found at the select an image point in the install process. I simply copied the smeserver-8.0-i386.iso into the USB sticks root directory.

Then

Boot from USB
Select Install from Hard Disk
Choose Partition
- Generally it will be the last partition
- it was /dev/sda1 when no partition, sde1 when I re-installed on the HP Microserver
- I left the path blank

-when you boot to the usb-key, you might to be asked the question about the path of the smeserver-iso, select "Hard Disk" and the path of your usb key as prompted.
