DL320 G5P Server

[Robert Spranza]

I am trying to install Windows 2003 server 64 bit onto my DL320 G5P server using the embedded sata/sas drives configured for raid 1.

I have tried all of the drivers on the hp website.

I turned off virtual install disk in the bios. I am using an HP usb floppy drive.

Anyone have any ideas why the drivers will not work for me?

Thank You
Robert

hi

maybe you already tested this one

1.4.17010.0 (25 Jan 2008)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3579703&prodNameId=3579737&swEnvOID=1113&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-30d2dc5c002c456ca38f640063

what about this one
Version: 1.4.17015.0 1.4.17015.0 (18 Jan 2008)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3579703&prodNameId=3579737&swEnvOID=1113&swLang=8&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-4810d57f44f74d8cbe18413697&mode=3

Even when 1.4.17015.0 has older date it is the latest HP had a mistake in dates

Hi robert,
If you use a smartstart CD all drivers will be installed.
Don't you have one? download it here:

Boot with this CD and you can configure RAID (ALU) and select the OS (what will install the drivers) then it will ask you for an OS media.

Have a nice day,
HTH, Ronald

Robert is asking for the SATA drivers for the SATA embedded controller and Smartstart CD does not support that controller only smart array controllers like e200 . 6i, ...

Thank You for the responses. Kario's 2nd link worked great. Setup recognized my raid 1 configuration.

I thank everyone very much.
