Re: Windows Home Server on a PowerEdge 2300


What kind of hard drives? Are they set up as RAID? You might have to get
the drivers onto a floppy and load them when prompted during the install.


Only one scsi drive (250GB IDE using Acard SCSI - IDE Bridge,
AEC-7720UW)
So i'm using the built in scsi card. (no backplane or so...)

I have never been asked to insert any floppy with driver.
The install only goes to 5 or 6 dots and then the "Could not
initialize UI subsystem" pops up.

I'm using the WHS 120-day evaluation kit.

(XP,W2k and W2k3 server installs just fine)
