cannot install windows joodle template on online.net
Since morning, I am trying to install windows on online.net ded box. It used to work last time I tried around a month ago.
So, from my online.net console, I restarted the server in rescue mode.
root@myserver:~# wget -O- '...' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

Why does it fail? I have tried almost 10 times, it errors out the same place every time. What am I doing wrong?

you should speak to him directly for any technical support.
but broken pipe (in my case with my own templates it was due to wrong hdd name /vda/vdb /sda/ etc)
Could also be a server issue (his side)
@joodle
Seems to be a permission problem
In the console, type: sudo -i and type in your password once it asks you to do so. Once done, use the wget command again. That should solve your problem.
I tried the same. Still does not help. Any other thing to check?
Which rescue image are you using? Did you use Ubuntu one?
I guess your drive is almost die.
Ubuntu rescue
How can I validate it?
Please refrain from posting any links to illegal software.
have you tried both versions?
Please paste output of "fdisk -l" (without the quotes of course).

I can see just 1.
I'm having the same problem, I'm trying to install new version over the old one on kimsufi server, and it shows this 'broken pipe' error.
I have 3 partitions, maybe that's why it's showing that. How can I wipe all partitions and reset HDD through rescue mode ?
Where are you downloading the template from?
By using wget, Windows Server 2016 evaluation version
result:
So you are downloading the template from my mirrors :P
Follow my guide here - https://www.whatuptime.com/installing-microsoft-windows-server-2016-datacenter-x64-online-net-personal-range-xc-2016-sc-2016/
My best guess is you skipped step #10.
If you continue to run into issues I offer assistance via my community forums.
Thanks, I found out that it was my fault. I was booting into wrong rescue mode (freebsd), I thought rescue64-pro was only for online hardware tests..
Excellent to hear!

Your guide is only valid if the server includes IPMI access which isn't included with the current offering of Online.net's Personal Range.
