Hi,

Yes, as mentioned by Alborz-Mahmoodi desktop operating systems are not tested with ProLiant servers. However, p410i controller is used in some workstation servers and i found drives for windows XP and Vista. Though I have not tried the installation, you may try the manual installation from the OS CD and provide these drivers.

"Installation:
Download the Smart Component to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The downloaded file is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the Smart Component Number.

The extracted files are used on a floppy drive to assist in landing the drive controller drivers during an XP installation. "
