mgray_fr Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Does anyone have any idea how to redirect XP/2003 to install using a serial port as console?I can't find any reference anywhere but it must be possible!I'm trying to use a Dell Powervault 715N as a NAS on my LAN. When installed I intend to access with VNC - There's no problem setting up an automated install of XP and VNC but I need to pass some parameters to configure.ThanksMike G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The easiest method is to install Windows on a simular motherboard and to transfer the HD to the powervault when finished. as long as the motherboard uses the same HAL and mass storage driver you should be OK, all of the devices on the PowerVault 715N have their drivers build in to 2003 (I never tried XP). If you want to do it the hard way take a look at http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/17729873/17889070.aspx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
