Yesterday I bought a used Dell PowerEdge 1950 server and I am trying to install Esxi 5.5 onto it. I downloaded the ISO file onto a bootable USB. I plug the USB into the front USB drive, but when I start the server, it goes through the BIOS load screen, and then it immediately goes into Windows Server 2008 r2 without giving me a chance to download VMWare. I cannot log into Windows Server 2008 b/c I do not have the admin password. Any advice on what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me! -Patrick

Burn the iso content on a dvd, or else you will need to make the USB key bootable.
