Hi Enrico,

Few questions here:
1. What is the generation of the server?
2. What is the controller that is being used?
3. Is it a SATA or a SCSI model server?

This link might help you installing the OS on a SATA model:

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem. My server is a ProLiant ML150 G3 series. I'm trying to install a Windows 2003 server but it doesn't seems to detect the hard disk even after i load the LSI driver from the F6 option. Your advice is much important tp me. thank you

Hi ramesh_naik_!

I have a ml150 G2 server and I use the scsi controller. I tried the driver on the hp site, but in this way I can only install Windows2003 again and I cannot format the SCSI disk. There is a SmartstartCD that works with my system (the 7.60 do not support it)?

Thanks for the answer!

Enrico
