I want to install a new scsi but when my os windows small business server 2003 it gives me "setup either detected multiple disk in your machine that are indistinguishable or detected raw disk(s). Setup has corrected the problem, but a reboot is rtequired" even after the reboot it still shows the same thing.

It depends on what type of drive you are using. Plus, you may have to specify the array controller drivers if your are using the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives.

If your Dell server cam with the Windows Server 2003 software, you should be able to order a replacement cd. Go to http://www.dell.com/support If the software was not packaged with the server, you will have to buy it at http://www.microsoft.com/sales

windows server 2003 enterprise edition with SP1 or SP2 , can detect
SCSI driver automatically.

I think first u disconnect ur all HDD to server. then u enable ur booting HDD or operating HDD...and setup again....

Another way: If u have original windows ..u can use windows recovery disk ...then recover ur missing file(kernel).

Thanks

The hard drive needs to be set as the first SCSI ID device boot device..
The hard drive needs to have the jumper set to SCSI ID 0, the CD and FDD can be set to SCSI ID 1 and SCSI ID 2. No SCSI devices can have the same SCSI ID number unless it is on a different SCS controller.

The SCSI driver is required to installed during the initial boot up for installation when additional drivers are asked .the new models dont come with a Floppy drive so an external floppy drive can be used .The detection of HDD s must be at the startup by the Bios os SCSI card.

you will need to add the new drive to your array bbfore it will how up to be formated do this throught the array configuration util

Hi
While running the windows 2003 setup (winnt.exe), it will ask for SASI driver, you have to add the scsi driver... then windows 2003 os will detect the HDD.. then it will install..

The reason it is showing "no hard disk" is because you have a SATA hard drive, and there is no SATA support on the WS2003 software, so it doesn't even "see" the drive when trying to install.

What you can do is download SATA drivers for your hard drive to your machine. Once downloaded and/or extracted, restart the installation but choose F6 to load "SCSI or 3rd party drivers", then point to the downloaded drivers.

Your installation will then load the SATA drivers, thereby recognizing the hard drive and you'll be able to successfully install Windows.

Hope this helps - remember to rate :)

You need to install the raid drivers during the OS installation otherwise the setup program will not recognise it. At the beginning of the setup, just after the black screen disappears and the setup screen appears, it will say at the bottom: "Press F6 if you want to install third party RAID / SCSI drivers" or something along those lines. That's where you dive for the F6 button and install the drivers from floppy disk. I'm sure you know where to get the drivers from, if not, do reply and ask. Good luck!
