Dell t610 and Windows Server2008R2

dellwindows-server-2008-r2

I have this new server dell powerEdge t610, I am trying to install Win2008R2 but the installation process is being blocked by a missing driver and the windows setup is asking for this driver without telling me anything about this driver. Its just stop and allow me to brows drives to locate the proposed driver. I guessed that its the RAID driver but its the same.

Can anyone help?

Dell provide a bootable CD/DVD image you can download and boot from, which will preload all the required drivers, and only then ask for the windows CD. This is the preferred way of installing on OS on Dell (or actually any brand name system).

If you want a link to the bootable image, call Dell support - they love easy cases like this one
