Windows 2003 SP1 on Sunfire 2200x with NVRAID - keeps asking for media?!



Hi,

I am having a problem getting pass the text based setup on a win2k3
sp1 installation to a x2200.

I have a floppy disk to load the mass media device drivers, after
loading the following drivers, everything seems fine:

nvraid = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)"
nvatabus = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"

I can confirm that these drivers work and access to the NVRAID set is
ok because i can create/format a partition for the OS via the windows
text based setup. After copying the remaining mass storage files, the
install keeps asking for the media "NVIDIA RAID DRIVER (SCSI)"
diskette.

I have create three different disks all with varying txtsetup.oem
files (created as per suggestions on other websites), none of these
work.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Matthew
