Installing SATA RAID driver on ML110 using USB memory

[Kaveh_1]

Hello all,

I am trying t0 find out how I can use a USB flash memory instead of a floppy drive to install the SATA RAID driver on ML110 G2 while installing Windows 2003 Server. How can I set up the BIOS or the flash memory to present it as a floppy disk drive? Is it possible at all?

Any help will be appreciated.

With best regards,

Kaveh

This would be dependant on a BIOS which supports assigning drive letter A to the USB key. This server doesn't support this. I'm not aware of any way to do this with this machine.

How about copying the USB data onto a CD-R ?

There is currently no Windows OS which will allow you to specify the driver from anywhere else except for either the floppy or on the Windows cd itself.

Your answers confirmed my doubts. Strange thing is that HP ships this model WITHOUT a floppy drive!

Once again, thank you for the your responds
