Unfortunately something always goes wrong if I try to execute this command:
wget -O- ‘http://wget.fr/Windows_Server2012R2.gz’ | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda
I alway get this error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0bytes (0 B) copied, 0.0122777 s, 0.0 kB/s
I don’t know what todo right know. Can someone maybe help me out here ?
Thanks a lot.
PS: I’m was requested the Recovery ISO Mode for my Droplet. Network connectivity is also activated and I’m sticking at the Bash when i try to mount my OS

Hi @supporter
I will find it highly unlikely that you will have a stable version of Windows running by doing this. I would probably recommend that you look at Vultr or another VPS provider that supports Windows officially.
Try this instead:
wget -O - http://wget.fr/Windows_Server2012R2.gz | gunzip -c | dd of=/dev/sda
