Check the documentation for the server. There should be a SCSI driver or a server setup disk that you can use to load the drivers. If it is a driver disk you need to press a F-key (can't remember which one) after you boot from the windows setup cd to install SCSI drivers.

ok so i tried what putting driver files on the floppy. Hitting f6 at install setup, picked out a scii controler (which i'm not sure if it was the right one) windows said it had a newer one and i should use it. So i said ok use your default then poped up the same error, not disk drives found.
