Can I install Windows XP in Lenovo Server RS110 ?

I concern the Raid card dirver in XP when boot at install (I don't know need or not)

if need , how can I install raid contorollor in WinXPP (or can auto detect by WinXPP ?)

any other driver I need to care about ?

Thanks

welcome to the forum!

XP isn't officially supported on the thinkserver platform but you should be able to install it.   just be sure to install the RAID and storage controller drivers at the F6 prompt.

hello dear support,

i got trouble with my new thinkserver rs110 13g / machine typ 6438.

i was not able to find a verified driver for my windows xp installation and i think it is a shame that this os is no longer supported by you...

it would be great if u could help me out, i also looked on the intel webpage but there was nothing...

welcome to the forum!

i'm not aware of any manufacturer supporting XP on a server platform.   after all, most people don't buy servers just to run a desktop OS.

with that said, you'll have to search online for the drivers you need.   lenovo only offers drivers that they can test and support.

good luck!

@ ae99

maybe you can post the link to the raid driver you used on your installation?

@ erik

the thing is i just need a computer where i run the tasks for my aplications... and couse the computer hast to run 24 h it is more stable to use a server so my experience...

can you post me the sata raid controller name?

the RS110 uses an IBM ServeRAID MR10i card based off of an LSI controller.   you can try the LSI driver for server 2003/2008 on the RS110 driver matrix page.   if that doesn't work then you might be out of luck.   the only drivers listed by IBM for this card are for server 2000, 2003, and 2008.

Can anyone post a link to the working driver?
