How to install Windows Server 2003

Question

Hi,   I am currently trying to install Windows Server 2003 on a Dell Precision 380 Dsktop system. But during the initial setup (the blue screen setup process) the setop stops with a message like 'Setup did not find any hard drives...' I think that this is because of the SATA2 hard disk. Unfortunately all supplying documentation and install disks are currently on my desk in the office and I am home alone with the box. Can anyone point me to a download site to get the needed drivers for installing Windows Server 2003?   Thanks in advance, Olaf

Enter the bios and check the 'Drives' section, is there a 'Sata Operation' section, if so is there a ATA mode you can set in there? If there is change it to the ATA mode, save changes on exit, try the install again.
