proliant dl140 g3 setup
Have set the 2 80gb disks to raid 0, then started setup, installed drivers for Sata disk via F6, but setup still fails to find disks.
What am i doing wrong?
Is there a smartstart cd that is compatible? (said 5.50 or earlier, but i want 2k3 setup on it, not sure if this will support this)

Re: proliant dl140 g3 setup
Having the same problem. Have the model with internal HP 8 SAS RAID controller. As the machine does not support internal floppy, using usb floppy. Set 2 x 26GB Hot Plug SAS disks to RAID 1, then try to install windows 2003 R2. During install hit F6. It picks up the driver from floppy ok. However, when the install tries to copy the files after formatting disk(so it is able to see disks up th then) it prompts to enter disk into A drive. I have had this issue before with DL320 internal RAID controllers before, and the only way to get round it was to get internal floppy drive. USB did not work. DL140 does not support internal floppy!
I also broke the raid and tried to setup windows as if only standard drive. Setup doesnt even pick the single disk! Very worrying.
Please could someone assist.

Re: proliant dl140 g3 setup
Logged a call. AND IT WORKS!!!
the only workaround as per hp, is to use a free peice of software, nLite. It allows you to build drivers, service packs etc into a Win CD. It is a GREAT little tool.
http://www.nliteos.com/
I build the hp 4/8 SAS drivers into the CD, and presto. Its installing now.
During the CD creation, the only slight thing to look oout for is select, "Text based driver" not PNP.
During text based install of Windows, it even flashes the LSI driver. very sweet.
Let me know if you get sorted.

Re: proliant dl140 g3 setup
I have advised this solution to some of my colleagues aswell, as the same thing happens with the DL320 G5, if you cant get hold of an internal floppy.
This def works, and nLite is actually a great tool to simply automate Windows Install without fiddling about with txt files.
Give it a go, and pls post if you have probs ... doubt you will. Very easy application to use.
