I had the Dell PERC 5/i Integrated controller, so I had to modify TXTSETUP.OEM for the flash utility to operate properly.In the TXTSETUP.OEM file’s section I had to change the line that starts with “scsi = PERC_32” to “scsi = PERCsas”, where percsas.sys was the name of my 64-bit RAID controller driver.Ģ.

One of the files in the driver package is TXTSETUP.OEM. Information from the USB utility’s readme file are highlighted in red.ġ.
Obviously, I had done something wrong.Īfter reading the USB utility’s readme file, I found I had missed some very important details. I tried to view the contents of the flash drive on a Windows XP computer, but I was informed the flash drive was not formatted. It took about three seconds to run, and I went back to my server and ran the Windows 2003 setup again – and once again the installer did not recognize my flash drive. I went and found a different drive that I didn’t care if it’s contents were deleted, and ran the program. I downloaded the USB utility, and when I executed it I was informed this program would format my flash drive, which would obviously delete everything I had saved to it. I did find a link to the Dell USB Key F6 Driver Utility, which allows you to copy mass storage drivers to a USB flash drive and have them recognized by Windows during an installation. I searched for a solution, and of course I didn’t find one. Next I tried copying the drivers to my USB flash drive, which I tried in the ports on both the front and the back of the server, and the installation program failed to see that drive as well. I rebooted the server with the drive into plugged into a USB port on the back of the server, but had the same result. I added the 64-bit RAID controller drivers to my floppy disk, but when I pressed F6 – S to specify new drivers, Windows did not detect the presence of my USB floppy drive, which I had plugged into the USB ports on the front of the server. I had to search long and hard to find the Dell Windows Server 2003 64-bit drivers for the PERC 5/i because for some reason when you enter your server’s system tag and search for SAS RAID drivers only the 32-bit version is available for download. Normally you can load the manufacturer’s drivers during the Windows setup by pressing F6 – S to specify mass storage drivers once the blue installation screen appears. This is a common problem, especially with newer RAID controllers. The problem started out being that the Windows installer didn’t see the system’s hard drives during the setup process. The server also lacked an internal floppy drive, and there was no available slot to add one. The server contains three 500GB SATA drives plugged into an internal PERC 5/i SAS RAID controller.
