Filistine, This is the driver that should work for you - www.dell.com/.../poweredge-2500 (hard drive version) Download and run that file to extract the files. Copy those files to a newly formatted floppy. When you say that you tried booting to the CD-ROm, was that using the 2k media?
Hi everyone, I have a Poweredge 2500 with a SCSI Raid array, running Windows 2000 Server. It will neither boot from HDD nor CD ROM. I have made a boot floppy on which I have included the Perc2 Perc2/si Perc3/si and Perc3/di drivers (in one file) as ntbootdd.sys. This tries to boot but unfortunately does not recognize the System Drive. I am guessing that this is a driver issue as previous attempts to use setup to access the repair console did locate the installation, however the password wasn't accepted. Can anyone suggest how I can include just the Perc3/di driver on the floppy or another workround? Thanks in anticipation of your kind assistance.
