Funny.. I tried to do the same thing this morning. I am trying to boot from USB so I can make a Ghost image of a hard to replicate server. Could not boot directly from USB, nor could my Ghost USB enabled boot disk "see" the USB controller. It seems to me that the 2650 does not activate the USB controller until the system is booting into Windows 2000. Does ANYONE know how to boot these servers from USB?
At this time no PowerEdge Server except the PowerEdge 1655MC blade server has the capability to "Boot from USB". I do not know if the capability is planned in an upgrade for other systems.
