Hi,
I have absolutely 0 poweredge experience, but unless I'm missing something completely obvious, would it not be a good idea to burn the installer to a DVD and attempt to boot from that instead? I know that it doesn't really solve the booting from USB problem, but it's surely better than waiting the best part of a day for help from people on the internet.
Hope you get it sorted regardless.
Cheers, Ben.

Katherin,
I have worked with older power edge servers and those serverswould not boot from usb. The servers would only boot from harddrive, cd rom or a floppy drive if it had a floppy drive installed.

Hi all, I'm curious if this has ever been done by any of you guys. I'm trying to figure out how to do this with my server right now, and I can't. I have a video up on YouTube (my sighted friend is reading the options to me as we move along), so if anyone can offer feedback via the video, it would be great. I can only get the server to boot consistently from the hard drive; I don't see an option for USB. Any feedback is much appreciated.
