Device driver is missing when installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on PE 2850
Hello
My server using Centos 6 PE 2850 under the operating system. So I want to install a windows 2008 R2 server.
When the installation menu, it shows 'Drive devices lack' as the picture below show:
After I Googled, I found this link and try to follow his example:
http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/1466/t/19470587.aspx
But I don't know why I can't hit CTRL-M to set up RAID during POST. Only CTRL - A for LSI Logic Configuration and CTRL-E for installation of BMC.
Then I start to 2008R2 installation and I click on the RAID drivers. But it shows the message as below:
Can someone help me solve this issue?
Here my server spec:
Material:
Intel Xeon 3.8 Ghz dual core x 2 CPU
8 GB Ram
300 GB 3 10 k RPM SCSI HDD x
Version of the BIOS A05
Please let me know if the information is not enough
Concerning
If you do not have a prompt CTRL-M, of two things happening: 1) you have not installed hardware RAID to activate the controller RAID PERC 4e/Di (keys, battery, memory), or 2) RAID is not enabled in the BIOS.
If you have hardware RAID, go in the Setup of BIOS (F2), on-board devices and set the onboard RAID RAID Enabled.
You MUST first configure RAID before all disks will be presented to the operating system for installation.
The device driver missing "CD/DVD' is because your installation media is corrupt. Try different media, by downloading again, using a download manager to ensure the integrity of the files, check the hash, burning the ISO to a different rhythm, and/or using different software or hardware.
THEN you need the drivers for the PERC 2008R2 in order to see the virtual disk created in the CTRL-M. The drivers do not work now, because you have not enabled PERC, so, basically, the device you are trying to drivers over ot for does not exist.

Hard drives not found when you try to install Windows Server 2008
Hey guys and girls,
I've spent the last 20 hours, trying to solve the problem of not being able to install windows server 2008 r2 on a new Dell server.
My configuration is:
Dell PowerEdge R310
4 x 1 TB 7.2 K SATA HDD
Controller Raid PERC H700
I can't even install the drivers that I downloaded from the Dell support site because Windows Server 2008 Setup will not recognize them. These factors include the Raid Controller, chipsets Intel, SATA etc.
I used the settings default, all changed the Auto Off Ports and vica versa, I put the server in Raid and ATA mode with all the possibilities, but it will be will not detect any HD!
Please help, as it is essential for my health, employment and mental health.
Best regards
Sami L.
What OS? What RAID controller? How many discs? The size? RAID level?
I can't assume that everything is the same, especially when you have a different system altogether which does not support the H700 (so the files would have been meaningless even if Dell had not broken links). :)

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008. When I get to the part where I should choose where the operating system is to be installed, it is blank. He told me 'No device found drivers. We see the SATA HDD in BIOS, and if I browse for the drivers, the driver is displayed. I used the command line packaged with the installer to format the drive, just to be sure. It is formatted in NTFS.

ESXi 3.5 and when trying to install windows server 2008
I installed ESXi 3.5 on my server and successfully created a first virtual computer on which I am trying to install Windows server 2008 standard. I use VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5 from a Vista machine to access my virtual machine console.
Installation of Windows server is an ISO file located in the root directory of the ESX Server data store. Everything went well with the installation until one last server restart showed a screen stating "the password must be changed before logging on the first time' by clicking on 'OK' present a login for 'Administrator' screen, asking me to enter a password for the 'new' and 'Confirm password '.
Any attempt to enter a new password results (up to 14 characters, mixture letter & number) in a message "unable to update the password, the value provided for the new password does not meet the requirements of length, complexity or the history of the area.
As far as I know, I'm not usig a specific domain, have never been able to access Windows server 2008 to create an admin account. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am new to VMWare and Windows server 2008.
Any suggestion to move forward and allow me to have access to the server via the console?
Thanks in advance for your help, Claude
This isn't really a problem with VMware, but more of a problem of Windows 2008 password complexity requirements.
The account that she is not asking that you must change the password is the local administrator account.
And you have tried in upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters? Something like Win2008!@#$ maybe?

PowerEdge 2850 - trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 from USB
Hello
Let me start with this: they gave me this server by a friend, and I thought it would be a very rewarding experience.
I want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 from a USB key. I already formatted the USB drive by using diskpart and implemented the fat32 file system. Then I went on the Windows site and downloaded Windows Server 2008 R2, which is a NTI .iso file and which resulted in the new format USB key
On the server, I already put 'Manage USB Controller - with bios' and changed the sequence of drive for the "emulated hard disk USB flash drive" at the top.
Now on the screen of boot sequence, after the press
for installation of BMC, he says ' remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart" What's not here? Shouldn't I see a Windows Server set up the screen? I'm not there is something very basic I'm missing, but any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Remove the USB when it restarts the first time :)

600 g MT: network driver for HP600B MT for Windows Server 2008 64 bit
I installed Windows Server 2008 on computer HP 600 g MT (product number - B5G17EA). But I'm not able to get the network (Ethernet) and graphics drivers for this OS. I even tried to download and install the drivers for Windows 7 and 8. But that did not help.
The HP site doesn't have any drivers for this desktop computer operating system:
http://h20565.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/readIndex?sp4ts.Oid=5270873&lang=en&cc=us
Driver search for "Atheros AR8152 / 8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) also went in vain I couldn't locate for OS Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)."
Please help!
Hi Provost,
Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the Ethernet drivers from the following link:
And it worked perfectly for me. I had another system (HP 600 g MT). I went to the Device Manager and checked the name of the Ethernet adapter. It is Atheros AR8152 / 8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20). Then I googled and found the link above was the driver.
The graphics driver from the link you provided, I always download it now. Would return as soon as possible about that.

I would like to know how to install Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Enterprise from a USB key, please.
I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/
I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.
Otherwise, I'll have to use discs instead :)

Hello
I have a newly installed ESXi 4.1 - 260247 on a Fujitsu - Siemens GROUND RX300 S4 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 GHz with 36 GB of RAM.
Storage controller is a LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 6 x 750 GB SATA - drives configured with 3xRAID-1 logical drives. BIOS Version 4.06 Rev 1.04.2519
Now, I'm trying to install "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit" in a virtual machine, but fail because the virtual hard disk cannot be found.
I tried with all Types of SCSI controller, but when running of the "Create Virtual Machine"-magician, he suggests 'LSI Logic SAS'. "." I tried 'LSI Logic parallel' and "VMware Paravirtual" but it did not work. However, I have not tried "Parallel BusLogic", since it clearly says no "recommended for this guest operating system".
I was unable to find documentation on how and where I can find the "LSI Logic SAS" - pilot to be able to continue the installation. The
Windows Server 2008 R2 installation is an ISO obtained directly from Microsoft eLicensing.
I also downloaded the drivers floppy 'pvscsi - Windows2008.flp' and 'vmscsi.flp' from the ESXi server, but the program finds no driver validates the installation of Windows on them.
I also extracted files "windows.iso' of the ESXi machine, but not drivers there as well.
So my question is, what model is the "LSI Logic SAS", I guess I can download these LSI directly, I need to know what model?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you!
Kind regards
Christian
chrkad,
I think you have the same problem I had. Trying to install 2008 R2 and asked for drivers?
The issue wound up being an ISO corrupt Ms.
Try to download the ISO using the java-based download manager. This will tell you if your download is getting disturbed, as mine was. It will also be the image once completed to ensure you've got the whole thing of checksum. Just download via HTTP does not.

After restoring the Windows partition boot flag, I got:
0xc000000f
\Windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
kernel is missing or damaged.
I use Windows Server 2008 R2 installed on 70 GB primary partition & active with appropriate MBR. It is not the consumer - it is installed on the laptop. After the repair broken BCD (Windows 7 installation DVD, DVD server doesn't have this tool :() this problem.) I know that this (ntkrnlpa.exe) file does not exist, and it should not. System could not start any mode (even Safe Mode base).
The disc is perhaps the problem because PARAGON Hard Disk Manager 2011 has problems with the editing of this partition but it it sails well (as other tools). The files seems good. Also, CHKDSK has not found no serious problems such as bad sectors - it fixed only tiny problems.
