Dell PowerEdge Install drivers PERC5 RAID1
Hello Friends,
Can anyone tell me, how do I install the driver on PowerEdge 840 with PERC5 during installation for Windows 2003R2?
When we originally got the server, it came with 4 HD 250Gb each (software pre-installed), two disk failed and I decided to install 2 HD 1 Terra each, and changing it to RAID 1. The Raid system has been initialized with no errors. When I start the computer, it tells me it has logical drivers. My problem is when I try to install windows, it doesn't recognize the HD, so I tried downloading the driver from www.support.dell.com, and it gives me a file DRVR_WIN_R153206.exe 5Gb, and the OS only allows me to install from a Floppy driver 1.44Gb... humm...
On top of that, when I try to get it to read the A: drive, it tells me it did not find the file txtsetup.oem, so even if the driver I have would fit, it is not the file I need.
Unfortunately my CD OEM version of Windows 2003R2 from Dell, doesn't have the drivers of the Dell server built in. Anyone has any suggestions? Thank you!

Hello Robert,
Thanks for your help.
I in the link : www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails I found two files, the first one SAS-RAID_Driver.......exe is 5G in size, I downloaded it, and it won't allow me to install. The second one DELL_MULTI-DEVICE... This later one, I was able to upack into c:\dell\drivers.... folder, small in size. Unfortunately it gave me an error: "The device associated with following devise driver will not work correctly on this computer: \percsas.sys.
The Device driver is not compatible with the x86-based version of Windows your computer is running....."
any suggestions?
Thank you!
