Does anyboday have an idea?

I am trying to install Windows 2008 server on a HP Proliant DL180 G5. There is no built-in DVD reader so I need to use my LaCie USB one.

When I put the CD in and boot from the USB DVD on the server, I get the error message:

Boot Failed! Please insert boot media in selected boot device.

Xp service pack 3 kb936929. These packages are called packages, Microsoft introduced with the launch of the review of Windows XP Service Pack 3 with the release of Vista SP1 candidates and Windows Server 2008 heading to increased testing pools last week, and with Microsoft cooking the first public buildings the first update for their latest client and euml Windows, NT, the official record for XP SP3 is the only crumb from the service pack Fiesta over the company in Redmond.

So I tried with another Windows bootable CD and still no luck.

What I've done then, I copied the installation DVD on my 16go USB key. Again, impossible to boot from the USB Key.

I have 2 147go SAS 15k HDD on my server. They are not showing in the Bios. I was wondering if this is a reason why nothing will boot on it.

I am trying to find a way to deploy Windows 2008 server on my HP server as soon as possible.

If you guys have ideas, feel free to let me know :)

Best regards,David.

System Information:HP Proliant DL180 G5Quad-Core 2.54GO Ram 2x 147GO SAS 15k

P.S. This is my first installation ever on SAS/SCSI HDD.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit:

Windows Server

Well, my bad! I purchased a new USB DVD and now I can install Windows 2008 server.

Thanks a bunch for your help!

I suspect Mr. Denny's nailed it.

Also look for a bootup message about a boot menu (F12 is popular) to see if you can pop up a menu of available boot devices.

Not trying to be a jerk, but did you boot another computer from that DVD or USB to make sure it's happy? I only say this because I've spun my wheels in this manner a few times. ;)

You'll probably need to go into the BIOS and enable it to boot off the USB drive.

Have you made your USB key bootable? I usually use mkbt. You'll also need to ensure the BIOS is set to allow boot from USB

Spyhunter 4 register key. You need to make the USB key bootable first.

You can do this by following these steps:
--please note that this process will format the USB key
1. Open a command prompt (an administrator command prompt if using Vista/Win7/Server 2008)
2. enter diskpart by typing in the following command: diskpart
3. find out which disk is the USB key by entering: list disk
4. note the disk number of the USB key (we'll use [diskNumber] as a placeholder in the next step)
5. select disk [diskNumber]
6. clean
7. create partition primary
8. select partition 1
9. active
10. format fs=fat32
11. assign
12. exit

Copy the files from the installation media to the USB key and you should be good to go.

When you boot from the USB drive does it say no boot media. What software are you using to create the DVD image installed on the USB drive ?.

This might help

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard X64 Bit

  1. Set BIOS to boot from removablemedia ie: USB drive.
  2. Create an ISO of the DVD/CD with atool like InfraRecorder using theRead Disc feature.
  3. Reformat the USB drive, better besafe than sorry.
  4. Then use a tool like Unetbootin toinstall the ISO image you createdwith InfraRecoder on the USB key.And reboot.
