During boot from CD Smartstart-8.00-0-x64, hp installer detect NC371i, but after installion win2008 x64, OS could't detect NC371i, and I can't install driver for this device, because driver's installer says - no hardware detected.
Please help me.

Hello Roman,
Thats Strange.
Did u install the PSP ? Which Version ?

You could try running an offline diagnostics. May be the cards just crashed.

I had a similar issue with the DL585 G2 when used with WinPE 2.0 (Vista). Upgrading to the latest BIOS resolved my issue.
