3ware 9650SE & W2k3 Server x64


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to slipstream the drivers for 3ware 9650SE control in the W2K3 install

So far I copied the W2k3 CD and the 3ware CD to my d: drive - "d:/wn2k3 install" and "d:/3ware install" respectively

I launch nLite (1.4.9.1) and follow the wizard locating the OS folder (as above) and the driver set (as above) and then I proceed to making an ISO.

Once the ISO is made I burn it with Nero.

The server I'm trying to install on has had the 4 drives configured into two raid1 sets.

I install the CD and let it boot, which it does - everything runs to the point whenere I get to choose 'Install' but it never finds my hard drives - it says "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer"

Any advice grarefully recieved.

garrilla, it sound like you have not included text mode drivers for the RAID files. Please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Enjoy, John.

garrilla, I think you need the text mode drivers (driver-win-9.5.1.zip) at the bottom of the Driver section of this 3Ware page. You might also notice the latest version of their drivers. Please let us know how you make out. Enjoy, John.

Johnhc,

many,many thanks

that was exactly it.

This textmode issue is a bit esoteric - totally understandable once it has been revealed, but after a few hours searching (and I'm pretty useful at problem solving) I did not get this.

I will make a suggestion to the nlite team that something on raid and textmode as it now appears to be a generic issue!

again, many thanks.

garrilla, you are welcome. Glad I could help.

I don't understand what you are getting at in your suggestion. I also should point out that the nLite team is nuhi, the author/owner. Sending an e-mail/PM may get his attention. I am a just a user. Enjoy, John.
