First note I am a complete novice when dealing with server and this is my first one.
I recently purchased the above server of the internet bargain of my year. However for the past two days ive have pulled my hair out trying to install windows sbs 2003. This is because it had come with a key for "SBS Pm 2003R2 1-2CPU 5Cal".
I have set-up 2 Virtual drive VD0 consists of a 78Gb drive in bay 0, and VD1 consists of 4 drives of 78Gb in bays 1,2,3,4. I have also set VD0 to the bootable drive as I intend to install on that VD. So after hours of searching I was made aware that due to having a raid controller I would need to install a driver to enable windows installation to see my virtual drives.
I cant seem to work out which driver I actually need to install my os and what would be the best way to merge driver and os together onto usb or cd.
I have used a program called Nlite with no success I also attempted to use dells f6 flash utility and after searching could not find the emulise usb section which I read is supposed to be in setup
My bios version is 1.3.7 and options during startup are setup, utillity mode,boot menu and another boot option which im afraid I cant remember but does nothing.
My other options include raid setup, Scsi setup and a network remote controller setup which are all Ctrl+? options
Any further information required please ask as I am new to all this
Thanks for reading
