Installed Windows XP Professional on PowerEdge T100 and cant find the graphic driver.
Hello, my company just bought the PowerEdge T100 and command me to install Windows XP on it.
I wonder, does Windows XP compatible with server boards?
So, after done installing the OS, i did found the driver for network (ethernet) but never found any driver
for its integrated video controller.
So my question is,
1. Actually, can we install Win XP on server like PowerEdge T100?
2. If can, anybody have the driver for graphic? (i checked it, it was ATI RD50, which i cant find any in the web).

What this means is that Dell supplies drivers and software for these OSes.
You can try the Windows 2003 drivers, but if they don't work, I don't believe ATI has drivers for the onboard video; they refer to the hardware vendor (which doesn't provide non-server OS drivers for a server in this case).

Hi, my company has done the same, but I have a reverse problem to you.
The ATI drivers from the CD given seem to work on XP. But I'm unable to locate the ethernet drivers, as mentioned the CD only gives 2003/2008 etc not XP. Ethernet NIC is broadcom gigabit, I ventured onto their website, it has plenty of drivers for windows but you can only locate them by devise ID and you can only get this from the devise manager only when the devise is installed. Dell website offers no XP drivers.
Where did you get your ethernet/network drivers from?

Your blue screen is probably due to an incompatible storage (raid/sata) driver.

You don't; you find an updated storage driver that's compatible with XP. The 0x7e blue screen code pretty much says it's a storage driver issue. What is most likely happening is that XP thinks it has a compatible driver, but when it actually tries to use it, it errors out (blue screens). So you have to find an updated driver and when the CD starts to boot (the initial blue screen (not the error blue screen, but the first screen when the CD boots), press F6 when prompted (it says something like "press F6 to add additional storage drivers") and feed it the storage driver (has to be with a floppy).

I was able to install windows xp pro just this morning. I burned onto a disc a streamlined version of WinXP pro + SP3. It did not catch my ethernet and video though. I was able to find and install the ethernet driver but Im still looking for the graphic driver. Anyone who may have a link of it?
thanks,
sirjune
