You need to run the HPSSA utility to configure the drives attached the the Dynamic Smart Array, or go into RBSU and change the controller mode from RAID to plain SATA AHCI mode. I don't have acces to an ML10 v2, so I'm not sure if HPSSA is available when you press F5 or F10 during POST.  There is an offline version, but you must download and boot from the SPP media to access it.

This server has no intelligent provisioning, so better see this advisory

Thank you for your support.

i have made some Pictures.

i have made a logical drive see picture but how to install the driver for hp dynamic smart array b120i sata raid controller. if i start the windows installation i select the cp024078.exe but it is not found all the time.

thanks again! we have solved the problem.

i had to unpack the control driver instead off install. after that i was able to install the driver

thanks a lot

run and extract the exe file, then refer to the advisory.
