Go here and download the driver for the RAID controller that came with the server and extract those files and put them on a CD or USB: [URL] Boot to the Windows DVD, and when it says (if it says) it cannot find any hard drives to install to, then click on the Load Driver link.  
Hi There I have a problem installing Windows Server 2008. I have just unpacked a new Dell PowerEdge R210. I boot into the Unified server configurator and go to the Deploy OS section. I get to the point where it asks me to insert the disc containing the OS. I do this and then it reboots to continue with the installation. When the server reboots, it does not install server 2008, it just goes back to the point where it says "No operating system currently installed on this system". I have tried it several times with different discs and the problem is still happening. I checked the note that says I might be prompted to press any key, but this does not happen.    So at the moment I cannot install an operating system. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.   Patrick
