Smart Array 641 not see HD when trying to install OS
I just got a Smart Array 641 and installed it on a ML350 G3. I made the Smart Array 641 the boot Controller. When I hit F8 to go and set the drive it sees it just fine. So I then let the server start up in the Windows Server 2003 OS install CD. But when I hit Enter to install new OS it says there is no Drive. How do I get it to see the Smart Array with the Hard Drive? I am only doing one Drive with a RAID 0. Should be simple but for me not so much.

The file above ... download and run it. Choose "Extract" and extract the files to your floppy disk. If no floppy drive, you can use http://www.nliteos.com/ to create a new CD with the drivers integrated into it.

I have done what you asked. Does it matter what version I download and use? I downloaded 5.10 and 6.6 with no luck on working. When I hit F6 and put the floppy disk in and hit "S"(Specify Additional Device) to install it gives me "The File txtsetup.oem could not be found. "

Thank you very much. That second Link worked great and i am now Installing the OS as I type.
It is the top one - 5.8 (says driver). If you look at the contents of your floppy, you will see a textsetup.oem on it.
