Here is the post I referred to for installing XP on the 2950.

Can you tell from this what he did? Are there two sets of drivers I need to install or just the one for the SAS controller during F6?
I have the PERC 5i card according to the bios when it comes on.

Getting ahead of myself here...
Already hitting a snag. I have my windows boot disc already on a CD. I boot to the CD and type fdisk but I get
"error reading fixed disk".
From past experience with setting up my "client" systems this usually means it is not seeing the drive.
The 2950 came Windows Server 2008 and two (15k 73gb SAS)drives installed as 0 and 1. I have 1 pulled so I assume I'm only working with 0 to become my C drive. I'm trying not to do and Fdisk and format the drive.
