installing windows server 2003 on proliant ML 150 G3

[TAJUDEEN]

I HAVE PROBLEM INSTALLING WINDOWS SERVER 2003 ON MY NEWLY PROCURED ML 150 G3. THE SERVER DID NOT COME WITH SMARTSTART AND SO I HAVE TO DO MANUAL INSTALLATION WITH THE SERVER OS. I RAN INTO THIS ERROR: SETUP DID NOT FIND ANY HARD DISK DRIVE INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM. WHEREAS WE HAVE INSTALLED A 160GB SATA HDD WHICH IS RECOGNISED BY BIOS. WE HAVE ALSO DOWNLOADED A SATA DRIVER FROM HP, PLACED IT IN FLOPPY AND THIS WAS ALSO LOADED BY THE SETUP PROCESS, YET WE GOT SAME ERROR. ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE ON HOW WE CAN GET ROUND THIS?
THANKS.

Use Nlite

it always works and i think is the best way to slipstream windows drivers
