Hello guys, I got a question. I never installed under an IBM server, only HPs and clones...

This server in particular (an xSeries 206m) has a freshly created RAID with 2 160 GB SATA disks.

I booted with the ServerGuide CD and I'm clearing the drives now ith ServeRAID manager.
My question is this: I see this clearing of the drives is going to take like 8 hours more to complete, so I'm leaving the facilities and completing the job some other day.
I never installed under ServerGuide. After the new logical drive clearing is completed, I'll have the RAID unit in good order. What's next? This ServerGuide software works as a launching plataform for Windows Server 2003?
Because I'm doing all this since this server doesn't have a floppy disk drive and Windows doens't accept RAID drivers in CD.
So am I in the right direction to be able to install Windows 2003 with the RAID 1 logical drive activated with the steps I'm taking now?

I'd like confirmation on that because I'm coming back in a couple of days and I need to know if it is OK or rather I need to be prepared with something before coming here.

Thanks a lot! ;)
