Shooman332, You will need this driver, for the SAS 6/ir. www.dell.com/.../DriverDetails The issue may be the USB floppy drive you are using. Download this tool and use a USB key to load the drivers. ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/utility/USBKeyPrepA07.exe Boot to the OS media and then hit F6 at the F6 to load 3rd party scsi or raid drivers.
I have a Dell Poweredge 1950 I bought off of eBay. I need to install Windows 2003 R2. I have tried nearly every SAS driver listed with my service tag, none of them appear to be working. I have a USB floppy drive that I've attached to it. The machine came with 4 SAS drives and they appear to be working. I can see them in the Configuration Utility. I have tried numerous times to install with no luck.Below is a list of some of the components. I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
