Can anyone help find the file needed to load win 2000 on my DL580.

I am installing win 2000 on my DL580 G3 with four SCSI drives.  I get to the F6 part but don't have the file required.  Can anyone tell me the software needed?  I don't have an A drive either.  I assume the CD drive will do.

Try this:  SmartStart CD 7.90

Thanks much!  After reading the txt file that link got me to the right file.  However when I burned it to a CD the computer didn't like the format of the CD.  I got this msg: This disk cannot be read because it contains an unreognized file systeme.
press any key to continue.

I don't believe there is a way to format the CD to UDP so I'm once again stymied.  Any suggestion?
