| 888182 | 2010-05-26 10:45:00 | Dont want to hijack the thread-- But no it has a graphic Card - they are the only spare boards I have that will take 4+ GB of RAM = require GFX cards. Processor:Recommended: 2 GHz (x64 processor) or faster Memory:Minimum: 4 GB RAM Maximum: 32 GB Its a curious --- lets have a "play" project. WARNOX: just as a test, can you take the drives out of a RAID setup, try installing on a single drive - see what happens (stranger things happen as we all know) if you get really stuck I can send you This here (www.imagef1.net.nz) - may or may not be of help ? |

| 888186 | 2010-05-27 04:12:00 | I also had the same problem. Installed fine the first time from an ISO image but it turned out it was a hacked version. Downloaded the real trial version and burnt it and got the same error every time. In the end I went and downloaded the image from another site and burnt it and it had trouble as well even though the burn verified. I then burnt it using the slowest speed possible on the burner and then it worked fine and installed properly. It was 4 days trying. | veldthui (15543) | ||
| 888187 | 2010-05-27 06:21:00 | I've downloaded it about 4 times now :) Still no luck. There are 3 files/ISOs: 1.6001.18000.080118-1840_amd64fre_Server_en-us-KRMSXFRE_EN_DVD.iso 2. 7600.16385.090713-1255_x64fre_server_eval_en-us-GRMSXEVAL_EN_DVD.iso 3. en_windows_server_2008_r2_standard_enterprise_data center_web_vl_build_x64_dvd_x15-59754.iso The first one is 2008 x64. The 2nd one is 2008 R2 (x64) - only comes in 64bit The 3rd one is also 2008 R2. I've tried all those 3 from either a mounted ISO or mounted CD. Only no1 manages to boot into the setup, giving the attached errors (post 1). The 2nd and 3rd ISOs give 'Error 5' when booting. I will now put no2 on a bootable USB and try that. If that fails I will set the server back to raid 0 and see how that goes. |

| 888188 | 2010-05-27 07:15:00 | Holy ****, got it working :) I made a bootable USB drive with the 7600...ISO and booted from that. The setup came up to the same error prompt that it cannot find the drivers. After that I put in my other USB with 26 extracted driver files from the Dell website and Bob's your uncle, picked up the RAID 1 setup and now its installing. Thanks for all the help, fingers crossed that everything works ok from here. |
