I was given an old 2850 to mess around with, and since I’m going to server 2016 classes next month I thought I would try to install it on old hardware. I had trouble getting the 2850 to boot from usb. This afternoon I was finally able to get it to boot from usb. Using bios\MBR\NTFS it goes to Windows is loading files, loads up first screen relatively quick, second Windows is loading files screen takes 5 minutes and boots right back into bios screen. Thinking maybe the usb was set up wrong, I plugged it into a Windows 7 machine I had laying around. It booted up fine(Note: it did give me an option to boot UEFI). Going to try bios\MBR\fat32 confit in the morning. Bios is latest and greatest version, I can post the other driver versions, when I get into work tomorrow.
Has anyone else run into this issue? What caused it?
