XP installation: Can't find hard disk drives

Thank you for posting your Server types and a clear description of your
problem. (I don't answer a lot of posts due to missing critical
information).

Anyway, this series of IBM servers "usually" comes with a Serveraid
controller. So, you are going to want to go to the following web page and
download these drivers:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs...rs/23k4684.exe

Then, run this program. It will create a driver disk for you. Now, when
you are booting off of your CDROM, press F6 when prompted. Follow the
driver installation screens and point text-mode setup at the floppy.

When done, you should be able to see your hard disks in setup.
