USB as a Main Storage device

What one did you get? I took the directions right off of the download page.
-
@scottalanmiller They only had two downloads, I did them both, twice each.
-
Okay, what is the link to the page that you are using?
-
-
Emailing you one to try from that page. See if it matches either than you have.

@scottalanmiller First thing tomorrow morning, will see if that works.
-
Is that different than the ones that you had been trying?
-
@scottalanmiller Yes.
-
Oh good, we have a good chance then.
-
-
@scottalanmiller Tried a few different configs, nothing worked with that new file.

So we can't flash the BIOS at all? This is disturbing. What exactly does it do?
-
@scottalanmiller It just doesn't boot from the USB.
-
@Mike-Ralston Are you saying it does boot in another manner, just not through USB?
-
There is nothing but USB to boot from, sadly. The drive in there has nothing on it because until you boot from the USB, it's blank.
-
And we can't put the drive somewhere else to put something on it and then re-introduce it to the server?

Not really. Only if one of the other R510s is working. I think that that was suggested early. There are three of them there, try another one.
-
@scottalanmiller The second one is having the same issue. I'm clearly doing something wrong here.
-
I'm struggling to find an R510 specific guide and I don't have access to one to look at BIOS screens. Here is the screens from a slightly earlier BIOS, does what you have resemble this at all?
