Windows Home Server

Installation
Turn your USB Flash Drive Into a Windows Install Disk - This method also works for Windows Vista and later. You can also use the same method on a hard drive instead of a USB flash drive. However, in the case of Windows Home Server, the setup procedure will format all hard drives including the one with the installation files, causing the setup procedure to fail.
Recovery
During server recovery, you are notified that "unduplicated content" will not be restored. This only refers to unduplicated content that was on a drive not currently present in the system. (For example, if the system drive failed and you are replacing that drive.)
If the system drive is present, data will be recovered from it. Update: This actually may not be true. Need to do further research.
Server Restore only restores duplicated content?
