SmartStart 8.7 ML110 G6 "model unsupported"

[DTimP]

I have latest SmartStart 8.7 64bit downloaded from Support and Drivers, the MD5 checksum is correct. I have downloaded and installed the latest bios. The SmartStart CD boots and I choose the first option of 64 bit (without fibre). A few checks are run and then I get the message "model not supported" and install is unavailable although Diagnostics and ACU work.

Any suggestions as to how to get SmartStart to allow install and not get stuck at "model not supported".

But ML110 G6 is not supported with smartstart?

ML110 G7 appears to be supported, but not the G6.

The ML110 G6 doesn't use Smart Start, it uses the EZ Setup CD

Thanks guys, you are both right. This all started because the ezstart cd does not cover sbs2011 essentials. After a round about route I ended up with smartstart 8.7 which does that os, along the way I had failed to notice it does not cover the ml110 g6.

Have done a manual install using drivers from psp 8.6 and all seems well

Guess I will have to give kudos to first replier, pity as they were both so close together

Guess I was wrong about kudos, have one each!

Kudos to everyone! :)
