System Build and Update Utility v5.5 Stalling
I have a Poweredge 2650 I'm attempting to install Server 2008 on using the System Build and Update Utility downloaded from Dell. I go through all of the configuration steps, and then it goes to apply all of those steps, but it hangs at 0% on "Mounting Deployment Partitions." Any idea what might cause this?

Are you using the latest version of SMTD (not SBUU)?
Have you tried installing directly from the 2008 DVD?

SMTD is DVD only, so that won't help you. Are you saying that SBUU is hanging ... BEFORE it asks you for the OS disk?
2008 is a DVD too, so if you are trying to install 2008 without a DVD drive, you can't use the disk, and since the 2650 can't boot to USB, you will need to do a network install (unless you get a DVD drive).

if the data on the drives does not need to be saved, try going into the raid controller bios and deleting then recreating the raid volume. what is being done at the "mounting" is that a temporary partion is being created to stage the OS drivers. If it cant create the partition, game over.
