So, I'm trying the "USB" trick, but I can't find my 16GB flash drive (the only one I have bigger than 2GB), so I decide to give it a shot on my unused 60GB 2.5" Sata drive out of my PS3.

I'll let everyone know how it goes. lol.

it should work, to be honest. time it!

Failed. Haven't had time to investigate why tho. I'm thinking maybe I need to do a full format on it. I'll have to play around with it again later. I just went ahead and installed by mounting in DT and running setup.

Jesus, the long format takes forever. lol.

oh did you mean installing your OS to the USB drive, or installing FROM it?

TO it will not work. 7 cant be booted as a working OS off USB

Used as install media. Borrowed the Mrs's 4GB PNY Attache, and can't get it to be bootable either. Something is amiss here. Just redid the SATA, and I'm gonna see how that goes again.

feel free to PM me or contact me another way - i've never had a flash drive install fail on me, albeit there are a few tricks that can help.

Easy Rhino · Sep 11, 2009

so im pretty sure im gonna join technet tonight. any new discount coupons??

DanishDevil · Sep 11, 2009

OP updated for a new coupon code.

stinger608 · Nov 9, 2009

Has anyone tried the coupon codes lately? Are they still working?

DanishDevil · Nov 9, 2009

Give them a shot yourself. You don't have to enter payment info until after. I'd check for you, but I'm on my phone about to go to class. Feel free to bump the thread in a few hours and I'll check for you though.

DanishDevil · Nov 9, 2009

Updated coupon codes. Not all will work, but at least one should.

Binge · Nov 9, 2009

I've been a Technet subber for about 3 months now. :toast:

Any gems in the subscription of particular interest?

DanishDevil · Nov 9, 2009

The public beta is coming out soon.

How soon? I plan on Getting TechNet in December.

DanishDevil · Nov 9, 2009

We'll probably get it in January or so, and the public sometime in the Spring. There's no hard evidence as to when, but we'll get it first as usual.

stinger608 · Nov 10, 2009

I did check the TMSAM10, and it still works. I am going to be getting this subscription around the end of this month I hope.

DanishDevil · Nov 17, 2009

The Microsoft Office 2010 Beta was released yesterday to TechNet subscribers! Download now!

I'm getting about 150 kb/s on the 800 MB download, so it looks like servers are pretty full right now. Might have better luck tomorrow.
