upgrade driver raid controller

[giuliotn]

I have used the driver native of Microsoft Windows 2003 Server.
Now I like upgrade the driver with Adaptec driver.
When I reboot the computer with the new driver, the system show the first page "Windows 2003 Server" and then newer.
what can i do ?

thanks

We need to know which Proliant server model you have. And if you do not know the generations (such as DL380 g3), include the CPU speed. If you have added any PCI card (such as adding an Adaptec PCI card), we will need to know the Adaptec model as well. Thanks!

I have Proliant ML 150 G2 with a raid controller adaptec 2010S, 3x70Gb in raid-5,
Windows 2003 SP1. The driver (Microsoft) for scsi was installed when I have installed the s.o..

thanks

Do you have the SCSI or SATA model? The SCSI model comes with a U320 single channel Adaptec SCSI card installed in a PCI slot - it is not a RAID controller. The SATA model has a 4-port SATA controller.
There are 72 GB SCSI drives and 80 GB SATA hard drives - these are the sizes nearest to "70" GB.

ok! I have replace the controller with this (2010S).
I have installed the new 3x72Gb scsi.
Thanks

Thanks for the clarification!
The driver you need for the HP "ML100 SCSI RAID" card (which is an Adaptec 2010S card) with Windows 2003 is here:

I have just installed it, and in this way I get the problem.

You installed the OS with the Microsoft driver? The driver included on the Microsoft 2003 CD? Then when you updated the driver to the HP driver, is the Microsoft new hardware driver launching automatically? If so, go into the Windows Device Manager and see what is reported under SCSI devices. Attach a screenshot to your reply if necessary.

You installed the OS with the Microsoft driver? yes
The driver included on the Microsoft 2003 CD? yes
Then when you updated the driver to the HP driver, is the Microsoft new hardware driver launching automatically? NO
I have made the installation through Windows Device Manager / update driver/ from path ..
next the system prompt reboot

Hello,
If you still have a problem, I do not understand what the problem is. ?
