Take the USB out after it reboots the first time :)
Hi, Let me start off with this: I was given this server by a friend, and I figured it would be a great learning experience. I am attempting to install Windows Server 2008 R2 from a USB drive. I have already formatted the USB drive using diskpart and set up the file system as fat32. Next I went to the Windows site and downloaded Windows Server 2008 R2 which is a NTI .iso file and dragged that into the newly formatted USB drive On the server I already set 'USB Controller - on with bios support' and changed the hard disk drive sequence to have the 'hard disk-emulated USB flash device' at the very top. Now on the boot sequence screen, after the Press for BMC setup, it says 'Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart'  What is wrong here? Shouldn't I be seeing a Windows Server set up screen? I'm sure there is something very basic I'm missing, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!
