Windows Server 2003 64-bit USB bootable Image

[srankin1957]

Hello:

I am new to Infrastructure.  I just received 6 DL380 G4 systems (end-of-life for corporations is not end-of-life for my small company).  I need to create a diskless bootable USB drive to initialize the systems.  I'd like to start with Windows Server 2003 and work my way up to 2008 using my MSDN.

I have researched this as best I can and I still can't figure out how to get it done.

Anyone have step-by-step instructions for Infrastructure Dummies.

Here is what I have done.

1)  I have used Diskpart to format a 16GB USB Drive using my laptop computer... which is running Windows 7.

2)  I downloaded the Windows Server 2003 64-bit SP2 ISO to my laptop.

3)  I extracted the Windows Server 2003 64-bit SP2 ISO to a directorry on my laptop.

4)  I copied the extracted Windows Server 2003 64-bit SP2 ISO to the USB Drive.

5)  I placed the USB Drive in the Server and turned it on.

It recognized the USB drive as C: but did not boot from it.

I don't think the Extracted ISO is bootable.  What can/should I do?

Thanks in advance for your help.
