Setup did not find any hard disk

[mamin]

Hi,
I am trying to reinstall Windows 2003 Ent Server and during installtion
I am getting message Setup did not find any Hard Disk. When I see in
Adaptec Utility hard disk has been recognized correctly.

Before I tried to reinstalled windows, hard disk was working fine as
well. Not sure what am I missing here. I am assuming that hard disk
driver are already in win3k cd. I have Seagate hard disk. I looked at
their website and they are saying everything needed is in all the MS
OS.

PLEASE HELP.

My service is using SCSI hard Disk with Adaptec SCSI Card.

You appear to have forgotten to install the SCSCI drivers.... remember when
you see the message at the bottom of the screen, you have to have that old
floppy disk ready with the correct drivers.

Did you mean driver for SCSI Controller conrrect ?. I do not have that
driver Disk but I will try to Download driver from Adaptec by the model
no and see what happens

Thanks

You'll want to boot the Windows 2003 CD-Rom. Then *F6* very early and very
important (at setup is inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive
controller detection, and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later
you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2003 driver
for your scsi controller in drive "A"
