What kind of DVD/CD-ROM drive are you using? How is it connected to the server board?

Maybe the easiest way is to create a USB installation disk: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool. This tool works with Windows Server 2008 R2 as well.

we are using The CD-ROM that is built in the server , i try to use external harddrive but it didnot work.Can it be a issue of RAID drivers

[Edward_Z_Intel]

Which board/system exactly are you using?

OK if you have configured onboard RAID you'll need to load driver during OS installation. Which onboard RAID are you using, ESRT2 or RSTe?

[TJave]

we have configured Raid 10 with embedded Raid controller utility,

Pl. send me the exact driver link.it will be very kind of u

We have two different onboard RAID, RSTe and ESRT2, which you can select in BIOS. They use different drivers.

Anyway, here are the links:

ESRT2: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22120 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22120
