PE R900 wont Boot Optical or USB
I have cleaned out my hard drives with for a fresh installment of Ubuntu Server, however i cannot get it to boot of Optical or USB.
I read i need to install Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD ISO, however this will not boot as well.
I have set the Boot to optical and boot order.
Is there a trick to USB Booting?Is there another way we can try?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the reply.
Im trying to install Ubuntu Server OS - https://www.ubuntu.com/server
It use to have Gnome and has had earlier server addition at some stage(which i tried to boot again,no luck).
I ended up cleaning via RAID and setting all 5 PD to 5.
Normal start up.
1) PXE start up then exiting (No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received.
F10 start up
1) Error: Utility partition not available.
I have also tried the dell systems management tools and documents iso and updating the BIOS iso with no luck.

StarSeedGroup,
What are you seeing when you try to boot to either, any errors displayed? One thing to look at is how the image is loaded on each, and if they are bootable as well.
Let me know the process, files, and steps you are trying.
Thanks.
