RAID setup for Dell Poweredge 2800
I tried to initialize my new virtual disk and erased everything from my server, now when I try to reinstall Windows, setup cannot find the hard drive. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Copy these to the Root a Floppy not in a folder and then start the Windows Installation.
When the first blue Screen appears press the [b]F6 Key[/b] and wait till you are prompted to Insert the RAID/SATA/SCSI Driver push the floppy into the Drive and press enter. Follow any directions on the screen to Setup the Raid and that will fix your problem.

Dell has an installation disk that can be used to install the OS. It has the drivers you need and will let you complete the rebuild. If you don't have the disk handy you should be able to get it from the site. Go to the support site and enter the model number or the service tag number and you will find it among the software downloads. Burn that ISO to a disk and have at it.
Best of luck.
