I am attempting to install Server 2003 on to an IDE Raid

I have tried 2 different controllers..

1) Silicon Image SiI0680 (PCI)

2) Promise MBFastTrak133 Lite (on-board) (PDC20276)

Text setup recognizes the controller and allows me to create my partitions and start the install.

After the partition is formatted and the file copying begins I get an error message saying that "insert driver file" cannot be copied.

I have tried all of the following with no luck.

- Both controllers (PCI & on-board)

- Different floppy drives

- Re-downloaded drivers, used different floppy

- Windows XP & Server 2003

I am using a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP v1.1 Motherboard with the latest bios F15.

Any Ideas????

Weird! It seems you have tryed pretty much everything.

Whats the error?

Saying to insert the driver file or that the driver file could not be copied?

Because the error: Insert the driver file could not be copied

Doesnt seem right to me.

I'm about to run it again. I'll post the exact message shortly.

Read this thread

Setup cannot copy the file: pnp680r.sys

To retry, press ENTER.

blah blah blah

If I press escape, it will continue on to the next file...

Setup cannot copy the file: sil680r.inf

After pressing escape again, setup will continue copying the rest of the files, once it is done I get the blue screen of death (no specific error message).

I will give it a shot.

Thx

So far so good, I'm about half way through the install.

I was hoping it would be something simple like that I just managed to overlook. Sometimes I almost try TO hard to solve a problem.

Thx again.

So, is it solved?
