Why each option
During a Windows server OS installation, specific intervention is required to load third-party drivers for unsupported storage array controllers.
The recovery console is a troubleshooting tool used to repair an operating system that is already installed and experiencing issues, not for loading drivers during the initial installation process.
While manufacturer drivers are often provided on a disk, Windows setup does not automatically detect and install them from a floppy drive without specific user intervention, such as the F6 prompt.
In older Windows server operating system installations, pressing F6 when prompted during the initial setup phase allowed an administrator to provide and load third-party drivers for mass storage devices. This action was crucial for the operating system to detect and install to non-standard or RAID controllers.
Running setup using the installation wizard is the general method for installation, but it does not specify the particular action needed to introduce out-of-box third-party storage drivers during that process.
