Im new to tom´s HARDWARE and i hope someone can help me out with this issue of mine.
I recently bought an IBM xSeries 346 second-hand from someone who worked at a hospital, Its quit an old server and the guy said that he had to format all the drives (to the zero), so now i have a server and when i try to install an operating system (i have tried various os´s) it does not detect any of the hard drives, I have tried taking 5 out and leaving 1 in but it still doesnt see it, I have also checked the Bios and there is no sign of the Hard drives.
So i went around the internet looking for help and found out that i need drivers from IBM so the OS can detect the hard drives. I tried putting the drivers on a USB stick and boot windows XP but I dont know what to do from there, so i came here looking for help.
