No sata raid driver when Installing windows 2008 server 64bit in BL260C

When installing Windows server 2008 64bit in HP BL260c,I cannot get the Sata raid controller(82801FR Sata Raid contoller) driver installed during installation, I've downloaded the latest "HP Embedded G5 SATA RAID Controller Driver for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 Editions from HP site(cp009516.exe-740 KB) and browse it tru USB but the installation still comes up with no suitable disks found to install on.

But when disabling the "EMBEDDED SATA RAID" in the BIOS and installed the 2008 server 64bit...its OK,No problem.

We need SATA RAID ENABLE so that we can use the Raid capabilities.

Thanks,
mike

have you try to burn these drive in CD?
first you put installation Cd and when it ask to for this drive remove installation CD and put this driver CD let see how it goes,
