If you have a raid controller in the server, you will need to load a driver. When the server starts up you will see a line of text that says something like "Dell Poweredge Expandable Raid Controller.2Si...Bios or Frmw version 2.1-3". Note the model name of the PERC controller and the firmware version. When loading Windows NT you will need to provide a driver version that matches the firmware version on the controller. Download the driver file, unzip it to a floppy disk, boot to the windows NT disk, and start tapping the F6 key when the server starts accessing the NT disk. When prompted, put the floppy disk with the PERC driver in drive A.
