Hi, If you get someone to help you through it the first time, then make a replication disk, you can modify the parameters on the replication disk. Having said that, I took delivery of a new server a couple of days ago, and it did not accept my disk, so I need to investigate that.

That said I am not sure whether the 2600 supports Windows Server 2008.

One of them will be a WS 2003 std install and the other will be a WS 2008enterprise install. Both servers have factory installed Perc 4/i RAID Controllers. My question is will the Windows installer recognize the RAID controllers or will I have to have a floppy with the drivers during the installation.
