Re: Poweredge 1850 - Windows Server 2012 Install
Yes, 2012 needs drivers, and the only way to get them out of the EXE is to run the EXE to extract the contents (or use some other extraction tool).If you don't have a Windows machine (and/or you are...

Are you not able to extract them and zip them for me and link me to say a dropbox location or something :(If I disabled RAID would losing the RAID cache slow my system down?Thanks for your input so far ;)

That's a lot of work for me to do on your behalf ... I have the know-how, you do the leg work :) Besides, if you are going to disable RAID anyway, you won't need the drivers.The write cache can have a...

Sniff sniff pretty please hahahah :) If it has a impact on write speeds I would rather keep them and just set them both to raid 0, I do this in bootup by pressing CTRL-M?

OK another little question should I use Server installation with or without GUI (GUI = Graphical User Interface yes?)
View ArticleRe: Poweredge 1850 - Windows Server 2012 Install
If you have to ask, then USE the GUI :) Otherwise, you have to know how to manage and administer Windows Server from a Command Line.

Thanks flash, one prob im getting when trying to load the drivers is - no signed device drivers were found, make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click OK :(

Make sure you have six files on your USB (megaraid.cat, mraid35x.sys, nodev.inf, oemsetup.inf, r227150.txt, version,txt), and that you are browsing to the location with these files. It is possible...

What file system did you format your USB with? FAT32 or NTFS should be fine, but Windows probably won't like anything else. Try doing a fresh format before loading the drivers onto it too.

I bypassed the usb prob and burnt them to CD and that work so massive thumbs up for you :D

@ GLICERIO- I am having the same problem you described, and have found that the only workaround thus far is to install 2k8R2 via USB. Just out of curiosity, have you made sure your BIOS is up to date?
