Installing Windows 2000 Server on HP Server with Embedded SATA RAID

Asked by poutses in Computer Servers, Windows 2000 Operating System, Microsoft Server

Hello all,
I have recently bought an ML150 G3 with the HP Embedded SATA RAID by Adaptec. I have enabled the RAID functions from the BIOS, and also created the array (RAID-1, mirroring).

After that I have created the floppy as described in the HP site, in order to pass to the windows setup, the appropriate drivers to "see" the hard disk. I am using a USB floppy.

When setup starts, I press F6, and follow the instructions, and the Embedded SATA RAID for XP/2003 is installed correctly. I can create the partitions and proceed with the format to NTFS. The problem is that just after the format windows asks me again for the RAID drivers (insert the Adaptec SATA RAID v1.00 driver) into drive A, and setup stops there, since it does not read the floppy any more. The message I get is:

Insert the disk labeled:
Adaptec SATA Driver v1.00 (Windows 32 bit for XP/2003) into driver A:

Press ENTER when ready

If I try to install Windows 2003 instead, setup works fine and completes correctly.

Can you guide me on how to install the Embedded SATA RAID correctly?
