HP Proliant DR380 G4 install OS with Smart Start - CD-Driver cannot be found,ISO-File isn't accepted

Hello  Guys


My Company gave me an old DR380 G4 Server with 4 Hard Disk to practice some little. I installed a RAID 5 with smart start  and the firmware Maintenance for this server.

 

Now, i want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 with Smart Start. The Problem is, that smart start can't find the CD-Driver of the system to install the os, so i tried with a USB-Stick and the ISO-File, which can be found, but it it doesn't accept the file as a Windows Server 2008 R2-File.  The ISO-FIle is from Dreamspark, which i get the iso's for free.

 

What could i do to solve this problem?

 

Sorry, my english isn't that good.

 

Regards
