Installing Windows Server 2008 on PowerEdge R320
I recently purchased Dell Power Edge Server R320 & installed 4 hard disks (WD10EURX-63C57YO) on it.
I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 STD 32 Bit, but windows can't detect any hard disk during installation.
How can I fix this issue?

Thanks & regards.

Hi Sherif,
What RAID controller are you using? You will need to load the drivers for the RAID controller during the install. Also did you go into the RAID controller and create a virtual disk?

Is there any special consideration if I needed to install Win 2008 Server R2 64-bit? Thanks.

Yeah I have the same issue with 2k8 R2 64. I haven't been able to find a driver yet that works. It's been awhile since I've had a controller I've needed to download a driver for. :(

Please started with Windows server 2008 SP2 or Windows server 2008 R2 sp1. Then you will get the harddisk hopefully
