Hi- Would there be anything different about the initial install of System Platform on an s8300E than a D? I'm not getting any replies from 192.11.13.6 from the services port. I'm using a Digistor ROM which I've used countless times to build the D model. I've tried various media (burnt copy/original), used different cross over cables and this is the same laptop I've always used. I'm trying to build this in a spare G350 and not sure if that's the issue. That's the only thing I haven't tried. The DVD drive is getting power from the MM as well. Appreciate any assistance.
