I was looking to wipe out an old Dell PowerEdge 2650 server we had running WIndows 2003 Server on it and install Windows Server 2008 as a test server. Unfortunately this server only had a CD-Rom drive in it and this model does not support booting from an external USB drive. After doing some research I was able to create a WinPE CD boot disk and once that booted, I was able to map a drive to another machine that was sharing the Win2k8 media and launch setup. The problem is once I get to the screen asking where to install Windows it does not find any har drives. If I choose to load drivers and insert a floppy which has the PERC 3/QC drivers on it, it will bring up the drivers, appear as if its loading them, but then go back and still show no hard drives available. Has anybody run into anything like this and perhaps have any suggestions (other than buying a dvd-rom to install in the server)? Thanks!
