Install windows 7 on a poweredge 650 Server

I have a dell poweredge 650. and I was wondering if I can install windows 7 on it? Is there something important that I need to know? Thank you

Well, there are some things you need to know:

  • It has no sound capability.
  • It has only a small number (maybe 8) MB of video memory, so Aero or any graphic intensive activity is not possible.
  • It does not support add-in graphics... you might be able to find something that will work, but it will be VERY hit/miss.
  • It can be equipped with a RAID controller.  If so, you will need to load drivers for it during the Windows Installer.
  • He has a very good chance that your processor is 32-bit only.
  • Drivers will not exist for some devices; You may be able to use Server 2008 x 86 drivers for some devices, including the RAID controller.

What do you do with it?

  • Install Windows 7 on a new hard drive

    Hi all

    Old story, my hard drive is down so I bought a new disk of 1 TB of Seagate which is totally clean.  I tried to install Windows 7 Pro, but without a formatted drive any Windows can not find the new drive.  I need to install Windows 7 for software compatibility and server.

    I had ideas.

    I thought I might be able to install the hard drive on my computer at home and shaped in this way, no dice, that mount the new drive without spare cords.

    How to create a bootable CD on my computer at home and use there - not sure - Windows 7 Home.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Best Rgds,

    Dave R.

    When boot you the disk to Setup and windows loads, it says files using SHIFT + F10 to enter in the command line

    Then use this to use a part of drive to clean up and format the drive

    Press ENTER after each command

    DiskPart
    List disk
    Select the disk n (where n is the number that has been given to your HARD drive in the list disk)
    Clean
    Create partition primary align = 1024
    Format fs = ntfs quick
    Assets (assuming you want to install an operating system)
    Output

    Output

    You have just erased everything on the disk and are ready to install windows.

    If you encounter an error using

    DiskPart

    List of Volume

    Select volume 1...

    Deleting a Volume

    Repeat for the other volumes

    Then proceed to
    List disk
    Select the disk n (where n is the number that has been given to your HARD drive in the list disk)

    Clean

    Format fs = ntfs quick
    Assets (assuming you want to install an operating system)

  • Can I install Windows 2008 R2 Server on a PowerEdge 2850 Server?

    I have a PowerEdge 2850 server, that when he was initially put in place (by someone else) had Windows 2003 R2 top.  However, when they put in place, the partitioned the C: drive with so little space that it is running out of space.  We got a newer Dell server and I turned that 2850 off the coast.  It was interrupted for a month or two.

    But I would like to use it as a backup of database server.  Can I install Windows 2008 R2 Server on a PowerEdge 2850 Server?

    You need to install RAID drivers during the installation of 2008R2.

    1. Configure and initialize the RAID in the CTRL-M utility.
    2. Download and extract the drivers put on USB (or CD).
    3. Start on media 2008R2.
    4. On the screen that asks you where you want to install Windows, click on load a driver link at the bottom left.
    5. Navigate to the location of the RAID drivers.
    6. Choose the drive to install, then install.
  • Impossible to install windows server 2008 r2 standard x 64 for PowerEdge T110 ii

    need help on how can I install the Server 2008 r2 to newly purchased edge T110 ii.

    I tried several times using the operating system deployment wizard, downloaded the drivers via FTP. and to continue the process step by step.

    After the restart, Server 2008 R2 DVD will start running. .  After clicking on 'install' button, the system is always ask / look for drivers.

    I downloaded all the drivers from dell Web site, he engraved on DVD, but I was always invited with traverse it for drivers.  Any idea?

    Server is currently set to Raid 1 with 2 SATA 500 GB each. Using the PERC S100 controller.

    Is the message that he needs a CD/DVD driver?

    If so, there is a small chance, there are actually the driver SATA, but 99% of the time, this message indicates that the corrupted Windows media.

    A few things to try:

    • Re-download the ISO
    • Check the hack to ensure integrity to download and/or use a download manager
    • Burn the ISO again
    • Burn the ISO using different software, reader and/or a different speed

    You can also install via USB - if you still get the message from driver CD/DVD, then these are the media corrupt; If it was due to a real CD/DVD driver problem, then it should not be a problem:

  • 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 :)

  • 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). :)

  • How to install windows 2003 Server R720?

    I read that with r720, u can not install windows server 2003 directly, you must install as a VM, but I read something to do good readers for the raid controller or something like that my r720 has PERC H710: the INTEGRATED RAID CONTROLLER. If someone could provide markets like me can install 2003 and if there are custom commands or software, I need to do

    Thank you

    Why not install from 2003 as a virtual machine?

    There is no driver for the H710, 2003.  You can "try" this:

    2008 x 86 for H710m on R720:
    http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/product/PowerEdge-R720?driverId=H9W18&osCode=WLHS1&FILEID=3366404030&LanguageCode=en&CategoryID=SF

    You need to download the 'hard drive' version of the pilot and run to extract its content before using it.

    Also keep in mind that PERC does NOT support non-RAID, so you MUST configure/initialize RAID in the CTRL-R FRONT utility any can readers seen by the operating system, even if you find drivers that work.
