Re: Problem installing OEM driver to W2K3 without Drive A



Try pressing Enter several times. It may ask for the floppy for each file to
be copied.

Hi,

I had a problem installating OEM RAID driver to a new Windows Server 2003.
The server that I install into is based on Intel S5000VSA serverboard that
DO
NOT support native floppy drive. I had tried using USB 2.0 Floppy Drive to
install the driver. The setup work smoothly as it requested to press F6
key
and later on to insert the diskette containing the driver to Drive A which
I
promptly complied. I noticed the setup copied the driver from the diskette
and proceed to allow me to partition the logical drive as per the size
that I
want. I can also format the the partition but it stops right after the
format
procedure when the setup started to copy the system files to the server.
It
stopped with a prompt requesting me to insert diskette into Drive A and
press
the appropriate key to proceed which I promptly followed. But the setup
program keeps showing the same prompt screen requesting diskette to be
inserted to the Drive A and I can't proceed from here. Please help. Thanks
in
advance.


William.
