Proliant DL380 G4 Problem Installing windows 2008 R2

[AutoAmerica]

We have a Proliant DL380 G4. I updated the BIOS to the latest version but having hard time installing windows Server 2008 R2 on it. I have set the USB to boot first and also using a USB external Pioneer DVD rom. the system is set as Raid 5 with drive 0 as spare. any Idea as far as why the DVD rom wont Boot?
Thanks

The server 2008 r2 is an OEM license that came with Two DVDS in a Packet a DVD From Microsoft and a OEM preinstallation Kit DVD.

I have set the USB to 1 and which USB do you want me to disable? right now bothe are enabled. Thanks aaron

try hp firmware cd rom 8.3 updatefirmwwqares with that will that boot,

need to know if issue is a particular cd rom disc not, or the drive itself please clarify ,

if it is the drive try it on another machine is it seen ??

wheninstalling r2 2 discs are included are you using the first disc in correct order..
