put the systems service and diagnostic tool cd (part of the cd pack that came with the server) in a desktop. It should autorun, if not run the setup.exe on the cd. Select your server model from the menu and OS, it jumps to a page containing the drivers for that system. Select your raid card and the drivers will unpack to a directory on the desktop. Also run the F6 prep utility, this allows you to load drivers from a usb stick once you've pressed F6. The preferred method is to run the systems update and build utility cd and follow the prompts and it wil create an unattended txt setup file and copy the required drivers ready for the os install.
Hi Sir, I am having a problem installing XP/Server 2003 on my PowerEdge 850. I was able to configure Raid setup and initialize the disk but on the process on installing OS it was saying that harddrives are not detected and press F3 to restart the system. Also it was mentioning regarding the software that might come with the computer to use that software to correct the problem. Do i need to download and use the SATA driver on the website and press F6 to install raid controllers for this one? Your response is highly appreciated. Thanks
