System Looking for Floppy Disk to Install Devive Drivers

Hello.

I am trying to Install Windows 2003 Standard Server on IBM Blade HS21 -
Model 8853. I copied the SAS drivers from Setup CD to Floppy, Start the
Setup, Hit F6 to add the SAS Drivers, System takes the Drivers, let me Create
partition and Format the Drive. then as soon it tried to start copying files,
It somes with a Message
Insert the Disk labeled: LSI Logic Fusion-MPT SAS Storport Driver into drive
A:
* Press Enter when ready "

Hello,
Did you check if the floppy disk has that label on it? "LSI Logic
Fusion-MPT SAS Storport Driver "
from another machine run
Label A:
Check the output
should be something similar to this output:

C:\>label a:
Volume in drive A: is LSI Logic Fusion-MPT SAS Storport Driver
Volume Serial Number is EA96-3EF0
Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)?

If it is not correct, you can change the label to LSI Logic Fusion-MPT SAS
Storport Driver
to check if that works
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Wow that would be a strange one. I've always just used whatever floppy disk
was handy and never had to label the disk.

I had the similar situation for IBM 3650 8KI Drivers and had to change the
file to reflect the name. But do not remember the location.

Also when setting up servers we usually do not use the setup CD to setup the
server, we only use it to create a Raid Partitions.

Yes, typically the files named oemsetup.inf, txtsetup.oem, and the *.sys
file for your drive controller are what's required on the floppy. Just never
ran into a situation where the disk LABEL command was needed.

Hello Dave,
I had not heard of requiring the label either, however the error message
indicated that setup was looking for a disk with a specific label.
It should get that information from the INF file,

Thanks,

Ok, thanks Darrell. Guess it was worth a shot.

This is very frustrating, I get the exact issue. As suggested, I tried to
change the floppy disk label -

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>label a:
Volume in drive A: has no label
Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)? LSI Logic Fusion-MPT SAS
Storport Driver
Invalid volume label

I guess there is a limit of 11 characters for the label. So how do I get
around that?

Also, if I need to change anything in the lsi_sas.inf" file, what needs to
change?

Thank you.

Never mind. I found the solution. The problem is not Floppy Label. It is
actually a need to support some USB Floppy devices. The solution is:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=82711

It's basically solving the issue by adding several lines to the txtsetup.oem
file on the floppy so that file is loaded after you hit F6 and then it is
used again to load additional drivers during the install so the problem went
away.

Here is the solution for your conveniance:


Create your Storage device driver on the floppy disk and open textsetup.oem
Add the following lines to the bottom of [HardwareIds.scsi.(device name)]
If this section does not exist you must create it!
If your USB floppy drive still does not work, look for the hardware ID in
the floppy drive driver's .inf file, and make sure any legacy floppy drives
are disabled in the bios.

CODE
id = "USB\VID_03F0&PID_2001", "usbstor" #--HP
id = "USB\VID_054C&PID_002C", "usbstor" #--Sony
id = "USB\VID_057B&PID_0001", "usbstor" #--Y-E Data
id = "USB\VID_0409&PID_0040", "usbstor" #--NEC
id = "USB\VID_0424&PID_0FDC", "usbstor" #--SMSC
id = "USB\VID_08BD&PID_1100", "usbstor" #--Iomega
id = "USB\VID_055D&PID_2020", "usbstor" #--Samsung
