How about other PE model?
Sorry, we do not have other screen shot so far. But I guess should be similar.
nope. i have pe 2850, got a USB DVD external and your steps don’t work. I change USB controller to “on with bios support” but it doesn’t show up. might work for a USB flash drive, not DVD though. back to google.
Exactly what I was looking for.
THanks
For those that cannot get this to work, with some of the servers only the front USB interfaces will work for booting.
Is the opposite possible that only back usb would work? I have PE 1850 and no love at all on boot; I have tried emulation as hard disk, floppy and auto and nothing….
Now I am wondering if getting a USB DVD drive would even change anything.
Thanks!
Yes it worked fine for me thanks for the detailed screenshots
