Can not see the drives while installing an OS

[bruceghanson]

I have a Cisco MCS 7800 with Win Server 2003 Std loaded on it and two 72 GB drive configured as Raid 1. We were decommissioning this server, but a need came up to use it again but we needed to downgrade the Server to Win 2000, due to some test equipment and software that only runs on that configuration. When I try to install Windows 2000 Server SP4 from a CD it goes partway and then says there are no hard disks found. I suspect I need to install a set of driver for this server and raid controller for the software to see them. Anybody know where I can get the drivers?

Had to actually contact HP as they made the Hardware.  They supplied me with the drivers needed and everything is now working.

Thanks for updating the thread Bruce.

The MCS servers came in two flavors - HP and IBM.  Dependong on which you had, the manufacturer would provide the drivers for their respective platforms.
