Not correct. And that's an old article. While I can't speak to the PE2850 I have installed on a basic PE 800 or 850 (I don't remember) and a PE1950. These were lab installs and not at customer sites. Downloaded all the drivers, updated all firmware and installed from the SBS CDs.
I remember having an issue with CD#1 some time ago. For me it was a bad CD#1. Used another CD and it work fine.

So I'm getting the PERC drivers however now I can't boot from the SMS disk #1, getting error: NTLDR not found looks like it does not want to boot from the CD#1! ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: gswe...@actsconsulting.net [mailto:gswe...@actsconsulting.net] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 2:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Dell PE2950 - SBS 2003 Its actually an Option to select SBS 2003 as the OS. If you are selecting 2003 Server as the OS install option that will not work. I have done it at least a few dozen times.

I downloaded the latest version, I guess I have to Download the PERC drivers and start from the SBS CD L ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: Michael Ross [mailto:mr...@itwif.com] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 11:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Dell PE2950 - SBS 2003 Just choose server 2003 From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:sj...@amico.com] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 9:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Dell PE2950 - SBS 2003 I have an old PE 2950 that I want to install SBS on, I downloaded the latest "Installation and Se4rver Management" CD, however SBS is not part of any of the selectable OS'es.
