Hello. I have problem with installing windows on my droplet. 

I run the command  (via SSH to the server, not via the webwindow, cant write the | in the webwindow)

wget -O- http://mirror.whatuptime.com/xxxxx/betas/2016.STD.x64.EVAL.US-English.gz | gunzip | dd of=/dev/vda

it starts and downloads a bunch of files. 
it looks something like this:

2018-03-10 21:48:37 (288 KB/s) - written to stdout [4742419180/4742419180]
31457280+0 records in
31457280+0 records out
16106127360 bytes (16 GB, 15 GiB) copied, 1199.13 s, 13.4 MB/s
[* Rescue *] win2016-1vcpu-2gb-lon1-01:/opt/digitalocean#

I never get the bash-4-2# message, but i have a promt (like above) 
Is it done now ? should I turn off the droplet and contact digital ocean to dismantle the iso? or has something gone wrong?
thank you in advance!/Zac

You should be all set to request the rescue disk be removed and reboot your Droplet.

Even thou i did not get the bash-4-2# message?
