Hello I followed the sticky guide and I got WHS installed. The system rebooted during the install, everything looked good. I found "SERVER" on the network, but it is not allowing me to access. It keeps saying that it can not find that location on the network? I am confused what could be wrong or what could be causing this.

You need to copy the WHS driver folder to a flash drive and pop it into the device and when the disk asks about drivers tell it to scan for drivers. It will then pull the drivers off your flash drive, load them and should be able to connect to the network at that time to pull the image from the server.

I let it reinstall last night and it's working fine, same USB install. Dunno why the issue.

I just posted this reply in another thread when I saw this one...

I had a similar problem where the install would start, but the machine would hang after its first reboot or so. After messing around with it for a day, then leaving it over the weekend, I pulled the USB drive from the unit to start the slipstream process over. But, before doing so, I rebooted the box without the flash drive in it and much to my surprise, the install continued on with a series of reboots as described in the guides posted.

Before I did the last power cycle, I was able to see the server on my home network from within Windows 7, but I was unable to ping the box, connect via SMB, connect on port 80, 443, or anything else. However, RDP WOULD answer, but logging in with an account with no password doesn't work. If you can see the server but aren't able to hit any ports, try pulling the flash drive and giving it a power cycle and see what happens...for whatever reason, that got me going again.
