        There is no current version of Windows Server (this include Hyper-V server) that will install on any removable media.

        You have to have something prior to the OS load that tells the Windows install process that the media is a fixed disk.

          In theory that is what the special SD and USB slots on some Dell and HP servers are supposed to do - they present the device over SATA or something so that Windows things that it is a normal disk. Only certain ports normally do it.

            That is only on newer units.
            Devices I purchased in 2011 do not have that feature.

              Dell or HP? I don't know the purchase year off hand but I know that our HP Proliant G7 had them and the G5 did not. G5 is much older than 2011. G7, not sure.

                Dell T410 and Dell T610 I think are the models. Purchased November 2011.

                I have a Dell 1U rack mount at another client purchased in umm late 2013 maybe? that would not do it either. That might be me missing a setting but I did try 3 times to get it going. After that I needed it up to recover from a failure.

                  I made it !!

                  Following this Tutorial

                  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee731893(WS.10).aspx

                  After this tutorial I get a blue screen but with the DVD and reparing the boot It works now.

                  There is something strange anyway, the keyboard reaction is very slow.

                  Regards

                      The slow respond probably due to drivers. I had slow network connection when remote in. After a Chipset driver update I am good to go.
                      But since you installed in on a removable drive the cause might be different

                        Deploy Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 on a UFD that is an internal component of the computer, such as an internal hard drive, that will be identified as non-removable by the STORAGE_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR storage structure.

                        @iroal does your server see this device as non-removable? or were you able to bypass/ignore this?

                              On a 32GB SD in Raid 1, It's install internally in the Server.

                              One partition have the Windows System the other was create it to mount it using a Vhd.

                                  @iroal You need to publish step-by-step how you managed to pull this off. Also list your Server model/spec as well for comparison. This will benefit many people.

                                      Now like @LAH3385 I'd like to know what server you're using.

                                        Sure.

                                        First I want to test is working properly.

                                        The server is a Dell R630.
