Yes, you will need to get the ServeRAID drivers and a USB floppy drive. &nbsp;Unfortunately this is the only method that works well for 2003.

HOW did you try to slipstream drivers? &nbsp;I've done it successfully a number of times using nlite - <a href="http://www.nliteos.com" rel="ugc">www.nliteos.com</a>

Hi there, <br />
<br />
I am trying to install Server 2003 onto an IBM x3550. However I get the error message: <br />
&quot;set up did not find any hard disk drives installed&quot; <br />
<br />
I understand that it can not find the driver for SCSI (I belive), but I dont have a floppy drive and I dont think one would work other than USB on this server. I've tried Slipstreaming some drivers into the installation but didn't like it and didnt even recognise the CD. <br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated. <br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
<br />

IBM Server - 2003, Set up did not find any hard disk drives installed

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
