Enter the serial # here; http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/en/details?c=us&l=en&s=gen   Then look at the original configuration tab to see what PERC your using. Once you download that driver (use the hard drive package) and unpack it, put the drivers on the floppy and go.

thnx for the reply. I tried to search for the service tag (36906) and it didnt show what PERC im using. so what i did is i open the server and take out the controller and search using the serial (0004389D-1700-925-0048) made by American trends. and what i got is that it is a PERC 2/DC (correct me if im wrong). Now I use the American Megatrends (AMI) PERC2/DC. But after installing all the files needed for windows it says. 'The disk or CD you inserted may be damaged'. I've used 5 floopy already and still get the same error. Did i do something wrong. or did i get the wrong driver.
