The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Getting error while Installing Windows Server 2003 on Dell Power Edge 2650

Asked by dahter in Computer Servers, Windows 2003 Server, Removable Backup Media

Tags:

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to deploy Windows 2003 Server on Dell Power Edge 2650 Server. I do not have the media CD. I have downloaded the ISO image from eopen software downloads and made a CD out of it. It looks like the contets of the CD is there (I can not see anything missing).
I start the deployment with Dell OpenManage CD and insert the OS CD I that I make. The 1st phase went ok, it copied the OS and everything when I restart it and when the set up begins it gives me "The file amdide.sys could not be found error" Any suggestions on how I can get away with it? (I can not purchase the Windows 2003 Media CD as it is no longer available, it is available only through eopen downloads).  Is there any certain way that I should burn the CD? I'm using Roxio Easy CD&DVD creator and when I right click on ISO and click on burn, it burns the CD without any problems. I have already downloaded it twice just incase there was something wrong while downloding the first time.
I think there is something wrong with the CD burning process because I also tried deploying the same OS on HP Proliant DL320 with the CD I made at that time and I got another error message (I don't have the errror message handy) but in the deployment tool that HP also offers using a flash drive. I ended up copying the 2003 files on a flash drive and it worked. Is there a way that i can use the same flash drive to deploy the OS on Dell?
