Dell mass storage controller driver windows 7 64 bit drivers#
Next I tried copying the drivers to my USB flash drive, which I tried in the ports on both the front and the back of the server, and the installation program failed to see that drive as well.
I rebooted the server with the drive into plugged into a USB port on the back of the server, but had the same result. I added the 64-bit RAID controller drivers to my floppy disk, but when I pressed F6 – S to specify new drivers, Windows did not detect the presence of my USB floppy drive, which I had plugged into the USB ports on the front of the server.
I had to search long and hard to find the Dell Windows Server 2003 64-bit drivers for the PERC 5/i because for some reason when you enter your server’s system tag and search for SAS RAID drivers only the 32-bit version is available for download. Normally you can load the manufacturer’s drivers during the Windows setup by pressing F6 – S to specify mass storage drivers once the blue installation screen appears. This is a common problem, especially with newer RAID controllers. The problem started out being that the Windows installer didn’t see the system’s hard drives during the setup process.
The server also lacked an internal floppy drive, and there was no available slot to add one. The server contains three 500GB SATA drives plugged into an internal PERC 5/i SAS RAID controller.

It seemed like a simple enough task – Install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard 圆4 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 圆4 server that is about a year old.
