Ok, tried that… does not work. I wrote the ISO to the USB stick, booted the workstation into the BIOS screen and selected the USB Drive as the boot override option. Instead of booting, a back rectangle comes up on the screen (in front of the BIOS screen) and then disappears, leaving me in the BIOS setup utility.
Clearly, there is something wrong with the way the disk image is being created on the USB Drive.
After spending just about the entire day with this, I simply don’t understand why this is so difficult. I guess the next step is going to try and burn a CD and boot from CD-ROM. Working with this machine and NVIDIA Drivers in general is quite frustrating.
