W2K3 install using WinPE

Question

I recently build 2 2950's using WinPE, but had to rebuild them.  But what is happening is it starts to boot off the CD, but stops.  The CD's work fine in other servers.  I can boot the 2950's with other types of OS CD's (like Linux)  It just doesn't seem to like the WinPE CD's.  Anybody have any ideas?

The WinPE media that you are using does not contain the correct drivers for the RAID controller in the PE2950 server. You will need to specify the correct driver during boot or create a new WinPE image using the Dell documentation.
