Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from windows server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (64Bit) on a DELL 720r. When the upgrade starts (Boot from media or run setup from the server 2012 R2 media) I get the prompt to provide the mass storage device drivers.

- DELL PERC 6/i Integrated RAID-Controller - windows driver driver-category list Sometimes, a bad DELL PERC 6/i Integrated RAID-Controller may even trigger irregular personal pc shut downs, which can impede your job, and bring about your not being able to regain unsaved documents.
- This page contains the driver installation download for DELL PERC 6/i Integrated RAID Controller in supported models (PowerEdge 2950) that are running a supported operating system.
We work in an environment with machines running mostly CentOS 7.3 but from times to times we need to switch to Windows 10.
To manage those changes, we have a PXE boot solution with tree options:
- boot currently locally installed OS
- reinstall CentOS (minimal OS with SaltStack recipe)
- reinstall Windows 10 (restore a clone of a Windows 10 disk image with clonezilla)
The issue we're facing is that Windows 10 doesn't support the Raid Controller PERC H310. So basically, when restoring the Windows image, we can't boot on it because Windows doesn't find the drives. Same issue when trying a clean install, Windows doesn't find any local disk.
I've tested every solution I've found like testing with previous version driver during Windows install.. doesn't help so far.
Also, I'm sure of the issue since when attaching the drive directly to the motherboard (so skipping the raid controller) it works.
Any suggested solutions will be appreciated. Business process mapping template visio. Thanks.

Edit: a new version of Windows 10 Pro for Workstations could maybe help you out this fall too if you can wait.
Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is a high-end edition of Windows 10 Pro, comes with unique support for server grade PC hardware and is designed to meet demanding needs of mission critical and compute intensive workloads.
- Expanded hardware support
You will need to preinstall the driver to make it work (slipstream) or to give the setup the driver.
The easiest way, in the setup, some other forum give that file to get to give the setup the driver

and copy those folder to an USB stick and you will be ready to install

THERE IS NO DRIVER!
.. a day of my life looking and trying every driver out there..
disable the onboard RAID controller from system bios.Installed LSI 9211-8i card(about $100) and reroute the HDD cage's cable to the new card.move the boot drive to one of the sata ports (was being used by DVD drive)Boot to win7 and allowed it to install the driver for the new card.Moved boot drive back to HDD cage and ran the windows 10 upgrade successfully!
Notes: system bios to A16, LSI card flash was 20.x.x.xIR. the 9211 has the correct SFF-8087 mini-SAS connector that matches up with Dell's hot swap cage. There is an IT flash for the 9211 if you wanna skip the boot delay and have no need for RAID.
Hope this helps

Things I've tried:
+ PERC5/6 driver disk we used to get Windows XP on the 1950's.
+ Multi-device PERC driver from dell for servers (percsas rather than megasas)
+ LSI driver for MegaRAID 8048 (despite saying it's for XP on the website it shows up as a Vista driver on the F6 select screen)
+ The actual controller cards on the 1950 and R610 appear to be identical - I swapped them, but it didn't affect anything.
+ Install Server 2003, scan that configuration and then manually re-write the inf files for the XP versions - this blue-screened the XP Embedded install (although it did get to the loading Windows screen!).
+ Formatted the hard disk (came completely un-formatted)
+ Installed XP on the drive from a 1950 and swapped the HD into the R610 (obviously didn't work)
If I can get the XP installation disc to recognize the drive, I'm good to go from there but I have been unable to locate a driver that works. Dell doesn't support XP on the R610, so they don't have a driver for download and LSI's latest driver comes up as Vista despite being from their Windows XP link - does anyone know of a driver that will work to get XP running on an R610?
