The blog has previously shared that the direct ISO mode is used to install Windows system on the VPS host of VULTR. However, a reader has reported that the direct ISO mode is stuck in copying files. Zhao Rong tried it himself. This problem really exists. It is the same with ISO. I suggest you install Windows 2008 system. After testing, it is OK to install Windows 2008 in ISO mode.However, some readers said that the machine configuration with a monthly payment of $5 is better than Windows 2003, which does not occupy as much.Just so, I haven't recorded the process of installing Windows in DD mode. I will record the operation by the way today.
I log in firstVULTRWhen I opened a new Los Angeles, I chose CentOS6. *, which doesn't really matter.
As shown in the following figure, we enter the host management page, click setting, select Custom ISO on the left, select ISO Library, and mount the Arch Linux system ISO file.
The following is the situation after mounting.
After confirming that the mount is complete, click Restart Host and open the VNC interface.
As shown in the figure above, the first item can be started directly, and the following command line can be used directly. Some hosts also need to write network configuration here. VULTR is simple. If the network is OK directly, we can check the hard disk situation, and then we can know where to write it in DD.
RemarksThe system package I used for DD was also found on the network. Zhao Rong has no ability to make DD packages. Because of some ambiguity in similar content, the link I used to store DD packages was coded in this article.
After executing the DD, we patiently wait for the download and writing to be completed. After that, we can click Restart Host, or the ISO will pop up on the VPS management page.
At this time, on the VNC page, we should see that the Windows 2003 system was started. After arriving at the desktop, the system could not correctly install the network card driver. We went in to update the network card driver, set the IP address, and open the remote to use it normally.
In fact, before completing the above operations, I also tried another method, that is, mounting the CentOS system ISO to install, which would be a bit troublesome. It is not necessary to do so in VULTR, but if some machines do not have the above ISO, you can also try the following process. I will not make notes, but just take a screenshot.
