HP Proliant ML110 SATA Raid problem

[Andrej Konstantinov]

You don't understand. I push F6 then I select drivers it is from usb flash then I select partition and format disk and when windows want to copy files it is saying insert disk label drivers ... it don't want to read from floppy or usb it the same problem as it was with only floppy:( maybe I am doing something wrong?

Andrey:
1. Do You Use real FDD2USB drive or only emulation on disk on key?
2. On BIOS - how You configured using USB?

I use Sony usb fdd. and usb flash. In bios it was: sony fdd - floppy, usb flsh - force fdd.

Same problem on DL320 G4. Noname FDD.

I've tried the "use a drivekey and a usb floppy drive" and I still get the same prompt "Insert the disk labeled "Adaptec SATA Driver v1.00....".

I read the instructions from Studio54, but my BIOS doesn't have options for "set the USB key as Forced Floppy and set the USB Floppy Drive as Floppy." At least not that I can find. I am running a brand new DL320 G4.

Any ideas?

You don't need USB floppy drive.

The easiest way to install windows 2003 or windows xp on ML110 is by integrating driver in windows instalation disk. You can use third-party program like nlite or you can integrate it manualy(more difficult).


Have a nice day,

SOLUTION CORRECT:
- NO DOWNLOAD
- NO EXTERNAL USB DEVICE

You can fix your problem with a simple internal floppy IDE device.
Join it to the motherboard.
Turn on your beautiful HP Proliant ML110 Generation 2 Server.
You only have to set three options in BIOS:

1 Main: Legacy Diskette A: 1.44/1.25 MB 3%"
2 Boot Features -> Floppy check: Enabled
3 Advanced: I/O Device Configuration -> Integrated Diskette Controller: Enabled

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY!!!!!!!

I think everyone here is talking about a G3 ML110. The servers that are having these problems do not have internal IDE channels. just USB and SATA.

Studio54,

I tried your solution of USB and FLoppy in tandem and it worked.

If it didn't, I would have slipstreamed the Install disc next.

easiest way is to generate your own install CD eg. with nliteOs ( www.nliteos.com )

other way is to use a supported HP USB Device
