I need to do a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2 on a Dell PowerEdge 2800. How will I get the Server 2008 R2 DVD installation to see my RAID 1disk? I know usually I need to somehow load the RAID drivers during or before the Windows install but cannot remember exactly what to use to do this??
I know Dell usually has some type of boot ISO CD that can be downloaded that 'pre-loads' the RAID drivers to kick off the new OS install but I'm not sure which ISO I need(well that is if I even need to do this) Here is a link to the Dell support page that has some ISOs :
