Repeating: Boot from Windows 2008 install DVD. At the screen where you are supposed to pick the volume to install to, boldly click the "load drivers" link, and insert a USB key containing the necessary mass storage controller drivers for your PE1950.

Would like to upgrade to Win2k8. Machine has CD media is on DVD so I got USB DVD. Boots fine with Dell startup/install DVD, when I try to install Server 2998 (is an option on menu) install fails - cannot see DVD to get the OS files. If I boot from Windows 2008 DVD install cannot find the Hard drives. Any of you had/solved this issue Thanks Bill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
