HP Proliant DL140 G3

[Striperknight]

Is this box brand new or was there an existing OS that used the raid on it?

I'm with TDF.
that's an old server and may need a bios upgrade to be compatible with w2k3.

No significant files system difference between 2K and 2K3 and the G3 is wiiiiide spread so it should work - and not THAT old, right...

Bloo - boot onto a Live Linux CD of some sort to see if recognizeable there. Also, look for the UBCD iso for CLonezilla/GParted (google: ubcd gparted) and make sure you see the partions in another OS. Gparted is a GREAT partition utility so you may want to try creating the partition you want there and then booting off the OS disk

Apparently the drivers supplied by HP were bogus.

As a last resort, I downloaded the drivers from the Raid manufacturer themselves as HP had no freeeeeekin clue.......RRRRROOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank you for the suggestions though....gentlemen.

I.T. ....gotta love it, things that should work don't, things that shouldn't do......

Carry On.
