Installing WinXP on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 - 09/18/06 07:53 PM

Anyone been able to install WinXP on a Dell PowerEdge 1950?

Have built install CD's with nLite, but keep failing at the driver section or can't find the HDD's.

It's got a Dell Perc5i.


Thanks,
PCM

What type of Hard disk controller does it have? RAID, SCSI, IDE, SATA?
Have you tried pressing F6 during boot up and supply the HD controller drivers on Floppy?
