I can't seem to get Windows installed into this Dell PowerEdge 2950 server (As embarrassing as it is). The server has no floopy and the install needs a RAID driver (Perc 5/i). So far I have tried:
- A usb floppy drive
- 2 Thumb drives after turning on floppy emulation for USB in the BIOS for these drives. The drives have the drivers in the root of the drive (no folders).
- I have a dell disk for a 2850 not a 2950, but that asks for a replication floppy?
Anything else I can try besides building a custom windows install disk?
