Make sure if you have downloaded and extracted the drivers to a USB stick or CD beforehand. I had the initial problem until I loaded the drivers for PERC H310 available from the Dell support site. If for any reason you are unable to list disk and it shows no drive, I suspect it could be due to the RAID card. Then type Create partition primary align=1024 Type Select disk 1 (or which disk the SSD is showing) I made sure it was properly formatted by going to the command prompt (under repair disk – before installation). At this point I thought ‘Great! The Rep may be right’ but I wasn’t going to give up. I had the system booted up with the Windows CD and initiated a clean installation, however I was unable to detect the Solid State Drive despite it showing up in the BIOS. Also bear in mind, you may not have the same issue I had but if you do then I hope this would help. This could be due to the additional PERC H310 RAID card that came with the workstation. ![]() I though it was going to be a quick painless installation and how wrong I was.
