Title: How to install OS on an open mining rig Post by: 2dogs on September 29, 2014, 06:40:41 PM Initally, I was going to do linux via USB for an open mining rig (MB, GPSUs, RAM, power supply - attached a monitor and KB via USB).
Would it be better to have a HD + W7? But I don't have an extra CD/DVD unit to read the OS install disk. (Actually, I only have one, on another computer.) Can I install W7 on the HD on another (my main) computer, as a 2nd or 3rd HD, then disconnect it and add to the open rig? Not completely sure I want to use the rig for mining, might wind up using it a backup computer for other stuff, so the W7 would be handy.
