When trying to install it will copy install files and then reboot back into the USB...
Bad EEPROM. Stuck a donor on and the machine powers up fine. Now I need to fix the ME.
As Duke pointed out to me a little while ago that I was following a guide written by some mug that don't know what he's doing, I think I may be facing a little bit of a bollock ache.
I will try to get a read...
