Cannot install Windows 2003 on XW 6600: SAS Disk unknown

SOUBEILLE — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 08:30:29 GMT

Hello;
I am tying to install Windows 2003 32 bits from scratch on a HP WS 6600. Windows don't recognize hard drive or , more exactely the controller :
Symbios Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (also seen by the bios on name:SAS3041E) .

I have put the drivers files for this controller on a floppy disk. The 6600 does not have floppy drive so I use a "USB" floppy. Then I start Windows Installation and I press F6 for "three party device driver". The additional driver files are well recognize from the floppy as :
LSI Fusion-MPT SAS Driver (Win2003 32b) (this text is displayed in reverse video), and I select it (of course).

And Windows 2003 installation continues. And then, when windows process follows (a different phase of install, I think), I have a crash : blue screen with classical text meaning that disk is not recognize.
Please, could'you help me.

Thank you.
P. Soubeille.
