Hi All,
I just got a brand new i7 Mac Mini 2011 server with 2 hard drives. I don't actually want Mac OS X Server, I just want the regular version of Lion. But the computer came with no install media. I have the Lion USB key but it does not boot the mini. I even tried to boot it with an external USB drive running Lion 10.7.1 but that didn't work either. How can I wipe the computer and just install Lion (not server)?
Don't wipe your mini or you have to bring it to an authorized service center!
