Boot CD that will allow me to load USB drivers.
Ok heres the situation.
Rack server. doing testing with windows 7 and some application base. It does not have Boot from USB properly. Nor does it have a DVD drive. We have one on order but its 2 weeks back ordered. I dont want to wait I want to install 7 on this machine. What im looking for. Some sort of bootable cd that once its booted up will load some basic drivers and USB drivers so i can then access the USB dvdrom and install windows 7 the bois does not see the USB dvd rom at all. anyone have any ideas or know where to find out how to do this? |

Re: Boot CD that will allow me to load USB drivers.
I JUST saw an article somewhere a few days ago that might be a solution to this very thing. I wish I could remember where I spotted it but a couple quick Google searches got me to this page Doing The Impossible: Boot Computer From USB or CDROM Even If BIOS Not Supported Using PLoP.
Hope this helps. |
