Yes Darrell, that is exactly what I did... After several fruitless hours
trying every combination possible to install a signed 64-bit driver for
64-bit Server 2008 using the DVD sent to me, and then waiting 4 hours for the
ISO file to download.
It would of been immensely useful if the message that pops up had actually
said "This is a 32-bit installation program and does not accept signed 64-bit
drivers for drive controllers during setup. Please use x64 only installation
media."
Don't you think?
