  • OS will ask you to “Press any button to start OS Installation” while booting. Press any key on the keyboard and then your OS Installation/Reinstallation would begin. It would show you an option like “Install OS”,  “Test this media”. For OS Installation/Reinstallation, you can select “Install OS” and hit enter.

Once the installation begins while setting up the OS and asks you to create partitions, set-root/admin passwords, etc.

 

After the installation is complete, don”t forget to set your VPS Boot Order to “(1) Hard Disk (2) CDROM“, otherwise it will reboot your VPS and start in installation mode, instead of normal mode.
