Yakatz, The openmanage disk will not recognise this version of OS as it see's it as a volume licence. You will have to source another version or else do without and just install without the help of openmanage - 2008 should have the drivers for the perc controller. M[NAME]
I got a used PowerEdge 2850 with blank hard drives. I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 from an MSDN CD. Since I would like to have the utility partition, I am trying to install using the openmanage disk, but when it gets to 15% and says to insert the OS disk, it will not take my Windows DVD, it just ejects the tray over and over again. Is there some other way to install the utility partition or some way to make it recognize the CD?
