Mount the 2012 R2 ISO, take a note of the drive letter. For this example, we'll assume it is letter F:.
We'll also assume your USB is disk 1. To check to make sure, in diskpart type "list disk".
We'll also assume your USB is assigned the drive letter G: after formatting.
Insert your USB drive. Open a command prompt and type:
diskpart
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit
xcopy F:\*.* /s/e/f G:
Put the USB into the server, boot to the BIOS Setup F2 and make sure USB is enabled with BIOS support and that it is at the top of the boot sequence.
