https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/booting-from-cd-with-netserver-lp-2000r/m-p/3973287#M9330 I have inherited an LP2000r on which I would like to install 2003 server. The machines' specification is dual 1.14Ghz CPU, 1Gb RAM and 6 18Gb SCSI drives in RAID 5 config.<BR />I am trying to start the installation by booting from the setup CD but the system doesn't seem to recognise the existence of the CD. Is it possible to do this?
