Day 14; It end in a disaster

As I told you, I've tried to install Jolicloud on my desktops using the USB-Installer. The problem was that I could not boot from USB. Either at my Windows 7 machine nor at my Mac Mini. It came even worster. The USB-Installer set up the install files onto my extended harddisk at my Mac! All the data on it has been deleted. To my luck there was not very important data on it.

Also the Windows 7 setup failed. Even with Jolicloud Express, a Windows install for Jolicloud. It started the download and installed Jolicloud. But afterwards I was not able to boot into it.

As good Jolicloud worked on my netbook, as horrible and time wasting the installation on my desktops was. I've learned to let my fingers off "idiot save" things. There is a list of tested netbooks at the Jolicloud homepage. I strongly recommend to install Jolicloud only onto those systems.

Next time I will go back to my photographic work and try to avoid wasting time like that ;-)
