2008r2 install issue
I'm trying to install Server 2008r2 on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 and I keep getting the following issue found below. I tried this twice now and the same issue occurs. This happens after the last stage from completing the installation, right after the installing updates.
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer
2. Choose your language setting and then click NEXT
3. Click "repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
file: \Windows\system32\drivers\
Status: 0xc0000359
info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver missing, or corrupt.

Which RAID controller?
What RAID level?
How many drives?
How large are the drives?
2008R2 should have drivers built-in for any of the models in the 1950, which means your media is probably to blame. Is it a burned ISO? Original Dell media? Other?

Did you use the install CD from dell (Open Manager Server Assistant or something like that - PowerEdgeTech can clarify I'm sure :-) ) or are you installing direct off the 2008 R2 media?

Presently running test (F11) at startup; however, I received a message that a log or information I'll need will be displayed once I login...The problem is that I never get that far either way.
I'm ready to just blow the whole thing, but don't know how...
Help!
