Error 0x0070057 Installing 2008 x64 on ML310 RAID

[Rich Kavanagh]

Hello,

When using the HP SATA RAID driver (cp009516) extracted to a usb drive the drive is found but when installing begins I get an Error code 0x0070057 and the installation won't proceed.

I have also tried the Intel 82801GR drivers (does not see the drive).

Can anyone help?

Sorry -the error code is 0x80070057.

The server is a ML310 G5p

Hi,

correct driver link.

Those work so far so good! (This is the furthest I've got yet).

I selected the driver, it saw the drive and allowed me to create a partition on it.

However when I select format the pointer vanishes then comes back without anything else happening.

Although there does seem to be drive activity there is no indication that it is in fact formatting the drive.

Selecting next says the following.

"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing partition. See setup log"

Any ideas?

This is fixed now.

What I did was rebooted using the Smartstart DVD intending to delete the whole lot and start again.

I noticed that there wasn't a logical drive created in that application even though there was a logical drive created in the RAID BIOS setup.

I created one and rebooted and this time it accepted the drivers and installed fine.
