Just a note ... nlite can be used to integrate SP2, if you want to go the route of the installation utility, but it can also integrate the RAID driver into your installation files, so you wouldn't even have to mess with a floppy disk (if going the install-from-OS-CD route).  Nlite is much easier to use - and more effective - than the F6 USB utility or floppy disks.
I'm racking my brain trying to figure this out.  I'm trying to install Windows Server 2003 on my 2950. I've got four 73GB Seagate hard drives installed. All of them show online and ready within the bios. I want to set up RAID 5. I've never really dealt with servers or RAID before, but I hit CTRL+R during boot to get into the RAID utility. I selected RAID 5 and selected the four hard drives that were showing and created a virtual disk out of the 4. I also chose to initialize the disk before setting it and exiting the utility.  Now when I boot to the Windows Server installation CD, it tells me that it can't find any hard drives installed. What did I do wrong?  Please be patient with me... I'm in completely new territory. 
Poweredge 2950 Won't recognize hard drives
