If your drive controller is not natively supported then you'll want to boot
the Windows 2003 CD-Rom. Then *F6* very early and very important (at setup
is inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller
detection, and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be
prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2003 driver for your
drive controller in drive "A"
