Hi my new HP server is a DL160g5 ...HP classifies this as a enrty level
server not one of its indsutry standard models so they do not supply their
own trusty Smart Start serrver set up program...... so here I am with on
bard Cd drive only.
I need to do the F6 and load in the Riad disk controller driver.......all I
have is a USB memory key so I do the F^ but the installion never seems tio
go to thre UASB drive to get my driver that I have saved there .....insted
it seems to just pull some LSI contrallor out of thin air and of coause this
bugs everythin up

How do I do this install with only one CD drive available ??? or how does
on use the usb device ?

Doesn't the F6 allow you to put a CD in with the driver on it? You
won't be able to use the USB unless it's a floppy AND bios supports
the USB floppy at boot...
