What about putting the disk from the working install in an USB closure and dd'ing it to the disk of the non working Qube2. If I recall correctly, there used to be a root image you could dd to the disk of the Qube2 (using an USB closure for example) in case you didn't have enough memory to startup the installer (apparently this does not exist anymore :( ). This is how I installed my Qube2 a long time ago :)
