Gentlemen an update:
New copy of windows 2008 R2: does not work, hangs on "starting windows" screen.
WinPE 3.0: hangs on "starting windows" screen
Dell deployment utillity, selected win srv 2008 r2: hangs on "starting windows" screen
Dell deployment utility (old), selected win srv 2003 enterprise (in x86) ==> Works but I am unable to update to a 64 bit system.
Anyone any idea's on how to solve this rather bizzare problem? Burn a custom WinPe with Dell perc 5i drivers loaded? Use the server as a paperweight?
Kind regards
