  2. Hi - I too am trying to make my HP MediaSmart 475 boot with DSM 5.2 on a USB key. I used Win32DiskImager to put "Xpenoboot_5.2-5644_Update_5.img" onto a 1GB USB key. I put key into lowermost USB slot on back of unit and removed all HDDs. It appears as though the USB key boots, pings my gateway and issues a DHCP request but beyond trying to register to WORKGROUP via NBNS nothing seems to happen ? at least that's what Wireshark says... I noticed that Win32DiskImager takes a 1GB USB Key and partitions it into a 23.7 MB USB key !! - Is this an issue (not enough space) for DSM to install itself onto the USB key ? My home WORKGROUP is *.home - is that OK ? As you know I have no KVM capability on this box and and can't justify a $100 cable just to get KVM. @CtrlAltDel - what "file" were you referencing above and what edits were you talking about ? Maybe I can take this to the next step by modding the USB stick and trying again. thx BigDaddy Posted via Xpenology.us
