I own an old HP Media center m376n and I want to re-image it to Windows Server, I have a copy of 2012 R2. I wrote the ISO file to a 16gb thumb drive in a boot-able format, when I try to boot to re-image the HP media center it says there's a boot error, just for trying sake I took the thumb drive to my buddy's place and ran it on his computer, imaged just fine... My computer wont have anything to do with it though. Just for reference I have already tried:
-updating the BIOS
-setting the thumb drive as the primary boot device
(both before and after update)
-writing the ISO to a disk and booting the disk, setting disk as primary boot device when trying
-booting using the RT edition off TechNet
-putting the ISO file on an existing server and booting the Media Center PC from LAN
-taking the hard drive from the Media Center PC and plugging it into my laptop as a USB device and writing the image onto it
Also the computer is running a Pentium 4 and currently on XP
-updating the BIOS
