No driver R430 Windows 2K12
Hello everybody,
i'm installing my new Dell R430 Server with 2 SSD disks and a PERC H730 mini Raid controller.
All my firmware are up to date (BIOS, NIC, RAID Controller, etc).
So, this is my issue :
When i'm using Lifecycle Controller via IDRAC to deploy OS with my 2K12R2 Microsoft iso, I got an error who say : "No drives were found. Click L...". So, it's impossible at this time, for windows, to see my Virtual Disk
Moreover, I downloaded all drivers that i could find on Dell website/forum on all version for my PERC H730 mini but nothing seems to be the good. OS Driver pack, .inf, W2K8R2, W2K12, W2K12R2, nothing...
My SSD are in RAID 1, i rebuilded et initialized my RAID twice. I've added some screenshots if it can help.
Anyone got an idea, im stuck at this step, i can't use my brand new R430...
Thank you in advance.
Benjamin T.

You need to use the Hard Drive format:

You must download and run the file on a Windows machine to extract its contents before you can use them - put them on a USB flash drive and browse to it from Windows Setup using the Load Driver link.

It would be helpful to know the EXACT error you are receiving. Are you sure you have an H730?

I think he's pretty sure. Did you look at the screen shots he attached to his question?
Was there ever a solution to this? I'm running into the same issue with a PERC H330 mini RAID controller.

Hi , did you ever manage to resolve this problem? I have the same problem with the R630 + H730.
Thanks.

Hello,
I'd like to help you out, but I'd want to clarify some things first. Is the goal to get Windows 2012 R2 or 2016 installed? It looks like 2012 R2, but I want to be sure. In addition, what is the present firmware of the H330?

I could update the driver from the following link :
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=76w42
then extract it on USB , go to lifecycle-deployOS - select OS 2012 then proceed to windows click on repair- troubleshoot - install driver- select USB
payload but the file in there doesnot contain raid driver to load the disks
it's FW0005i.rom
I am looking to apply the same this article the file in payload should be PERC H330 mini Adapter F:\payload\PercSas3.inf
please see below link

That's the firmware package, not the driver. However, if you are on firmware 25.5.5.0005, that's exactly what you would want. The driver you would want is here:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=640n3&oscode=mws80&productcode=poweredge-r430
What I generally do is download the file, rename it to a .zip, then navigate to the payload folder and either take what I need, or just copy all of the files to a USB. This file would be a file you load at the "Where do you want to install Windows screen?" There is a load driver button on that page, where you can give it the driver, and Windows should see the storage after.
For clarification, are you trying to do a fresh install of Server 2012, or are you trying to get a pre-existing installation to begin booting again?
