Hi omerash,

try looking for the drivers you need in

Because a notebook is rarely used for setting up a server - it lacks security features desired for a server like RAID arrays, redundant power supplies and so on - you may run into difficulties in finding drivers for that purpose. Probably you'll have to search for 2000, XP, or NT4 drivers that this OS eventually doesn't reject & experiment until you get this working. From my experience with 2k3 & drivers, I'd dump that project.

I might keep the project active, but I would almost certainly use a second hard disk drive so I could always fall back to the XP hard drive.

Make a great day!
