: Reloading OS onto Server

I'm trying to reload Windows Home Server onto my server tower after the HDD with the OS image died but I've come across a problem that I'm not entirely sure how to solve. My server tower (an Acer H340) only has USB, eSATA and network inputs on the board, no monitor output. I've thought about using an external case and using that to load the OS, but if I do it's going to preload all the drivers for my work station and not that of the server. I may be answering my own question here but would a solution be to simply do that, yet delete the drivers I wont need and instead manually load in the drivers of the server?

Don't you need to load the displaylink drivers for those?

Easiest way Lomac just get a cheap video card and call it a day.. moving drives from one machine to another often trigger WGA a big PITA.

Slipstream onto the install disc?

Where are you going to plug in that video card?
