Step 2 Create the USB Key (from Windows)

Instructions in brief.. we will get around to making pretty pictures another time (sorry)

OpenELEC can be installed and run from the AppleTVs internal drive or a USB key connected to the USB port on the rear of the box. The installation type is hard-coded inside the installer image so you need to choose and download the correct one:


 * Install to the Internal Hard Drive: http://chewitt.openelec.tv/usb/install-hdd.img.gz MD5


 * Install to the USB key: http://chewitt.openelec.tv/usb/install-usb.img.gz MD5

Download the excellent (and tiny) USB Image Tool http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/download/

Use USB-IT in device mode to restore the image you downloaded in step 1 to your USB key. Once complete, eject the USB from Windows and connect it to your AppleTV.

Now proceed to Step 3 Boot the AppleTV from the USB Key
