OS Drivers

I am trying to install either XP or 7 on a DL380 G3. I would do a server OS but I don't have an open license right now. I have been looking around the forums as well as on google for a link to the drivers but all links I find are dead ends. Could someone please provide me with a link to the driver so that the OS install can recognize the HD?

Thanks

Re: OS Drivers

Have you tried a Windows 7 install on the server yet? I suspect this will install fine. I have installed Windows 7 for testing on a server with one of the newer generations of SAS Smart Array controllers and it installed fine. The OS should have the drivers for the 5i (I'm assuming you are using the embedded controller). You may be able to download the drivers for 2003 and use them for XP, but I'm not sure what result you would have.
The truth is out there, but I forgot the URL..
