Poweredge 2650 Not Booting from CD.
I am trying to boot from a CD. I disabled all other boot drives in the BIOS to get it to go through the CD Drive and then the server says there is no boot drive. Unfortunately there is no option to boot from USB either. I've been reading around the net and it seems to be a common issue with the Poweredge 2650, but I didn't see a fix for it. I would appreciate any help.

What CD are you trying to boot to? Are you sure it is bootable?
Do you have another drive you can try? I would assume the CD drive is bad.
Does the CD light come on? Have you checked/tried reseating the drive and the associated cables?
I have worked with hundreds of 2650's and wouldn't say this is a common issue. I think I had one bad CD drive once.
