Use the Dell server build cd's these come with the drivers. You start by booting with the Dell cd's at some point you will be asked to insert the windows cd, just like HP Smart start if you have used one of those ________________________________ From: Greg Reese <gareese@xxxxxxxxx> To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 7:12:49 PM Subject: [windows2000] Re: Dell PE 2600 WS install we just loaded one of those here. Those things are built like tanks. I seem to remember the person who built it fought with the floppies to get the perc running. I don't remember what exactly he did to get it working but I will ask for you.

One of them will be a WS 2003 std install and the other will be a WS 2008enterprise install. Both servers have factory installed Perc 4/i RAID Controllers. My question is will the Windows installer recognize the RAID controllers or will I have to have a floppy with the drivers during the installation. Thanks Frank
