You will also need to download the Dell install/upgrade disc for your 2950. You can reach the correct page by going to support.dell.com and entering the service tag found on the front right corner of your server. Download the ISO and burn. Boot from this disc and insert your OS DVD when prompted. This will pre-load the Dell Perc-5i driver into the Windows installer for you. Be sure to create your disk array first in the controller's firmware!

What RAID controller are you using? Also, you must first configure RAID in CTRL-C (SAS 5/6) or CTRL-R (PERC 5/6) before even loading the driver will help.
