ML110 G5 Unable to install OS

[Mark Ryder2]

First I tried Vista, then discovered no support for network card (referred to elsewhere).

So, deleted that and next tried Server 2003, then Server 2008.
Whenever you go through the so called Easy Start CD you get OS media options I don't have.

eg I have a DVD for Server 2008, but that option not available. I also have one for Server 2003 - it says CD and won't find the files on the disc. Another option only offers flat file - whatever that is?

OK, I am a bit green with this but I can't anything to install correctly.

I thought time to 'upgrade' to something reliable like HP - and am regretting it so far.

By re-booting with Server 2008 DVD in I managed to get some way through install but then said could not update the BIOS and stopped.

Does anyone know how to get out of this loop?
