I just hate to throw anything away. There are 4 Dell Poweredge 2650 servers in my rack that were originally Windows 2003 servers, and are no longer used for anything, so I have decided to repurpose them.
I was able to get 2008 Enterprise loaded after upgrading the CD-Rom to a DVD-Rom. I dug out some old floppy disks to update the Bios and the RAID Firmware.
The only hurdle I am stuck trying to get over is finding drivers for the PERC3/Di that will install in Server 2008. Not a huge deal, as the drives are recognized and I can use them just fine, I just hate seeing the yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.
Not that I would expect Dell or Adaptec to put out a driver for something that was never intended to run 2008, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to make something like that work.
