Hi,

You can insert the Windows 2019 CD media in to your laptop and create ISO Image of OS.

>>Then access the server ILO from laptop.
>>Go to ILO remote console and select virtual drives
>>Mount the Operating system image via ILO Virtual media and reboot the server by selecting image file CD-ROM/DVD
>>Set ILO virtual CD/DVD as first bootable device and then boot from OS image to start the installation .

Thanks, however that didn’t work when the iso file was selected to the HPE USB program it still came with the same error message.
I ended up purchasing a portable CD/DVD drive and got it going.
I think the recovery disk was encrypted differently to a normal bootable DVD.
Cheers
