That is recent enough that that should not be the problem. I tend to think you are doing something wrong with loading the driver (sorry) ... Use the Download the driver and run to extract the files - you should end up with the following files:  [IMAGE] Put your installation USB in and open it in Windows Explorer, create a new folder in the root of the drive, then put your extracted files from above into the folder:[IMAGE] Then boot to the USB to install.  On the screen where no drives are seen, click on the Load Drivers link in the bottom-left corner.  Click on Browse, then go to the folder you put the drivers in, then click OK and select the driver, and click Next ... the "drive" you configured in the PERC BIOS should now be visible to install to.
Hello,  So i recently acquired a Dell PE 1850. The person before me had a Dell Power vault 220s connected to it via a installed SCSI card. I have unnatched the power vault but still have it and am trying to boot the server, but it doesnt work. The server has two seagate cheetah 10k 146gb drives in them but no OS loads on a regular boot. I have tried booting and installing windows server 2008 R2 via a flash drive but when i get to the select hard drive screen none appear to be selected. Right now i am cleaning the hard drives from the PERC configuration page. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make them show up when i try to install the OS? I am assuming that it has something to do with the initial BIOS settings. Any and all help would be great!  Thanks for all the help!
