1st question is it actually server 2003?
2nd question do you have the correct driver?
3rd floppies are crap make another and try again
Also make sure the sata drive on Promise is set as boot drive in BIOS

i got the driver directly from asus website and i tried both raid driver and SATA driver but none of them work.

yeah it's server 2003 enterprise

i've tried 2 different floppy disks already

last time i extract the driver to the HD then copy it to the floppy that's why it caused the problem. this time i extract the driver directly to the floppy and the O/S accepted the driver as shown promise fastrak 376/378 then i hit Enter to continue. after awhile installing then it said NO disk is detected wft ?
the HD is fully formatted and driver is already loaded what's wrong here ?
