UCS C200 M1 img driver

[b_ferguson]

Trying to install Windows 2003 Server on a UCS C200 M1, tried using the server utility but that doesn't seem to work.  Installed directly from Windows ISO but I need to install the RAID drivers during install but can't seem to find the .img file to load but need some help finding. Can anyone help me here?

You can download the drivers from this link, there are different downoads for x86 and x64 Windows:

And this is the Windows install guide which may help:

I have these links already and have tried multiple times, they do not work for 2003.

Christopher,

I can let you know that I have had success installing Windows 2003.

These are the version of Windows 2003 that we support.

The documentation for Windows 2003 install provided has to be followed exactly.   This is usually where I see problems.  Even steps that seem unnecessary if skipped will cause the installation to fail.

This should not be necessary but this video shows how to include driver files into Windows 2003.

Can you let us know at what point in the installation you are seeing a failure and what the failure message is stating?

Have you already set up the Virtual Drive on the RAID Controller before starting the installation?
