Hello,

As long as the server meets the XP minimum spec, you can insert the XP boot disc and reboot your server. As long as the CD/DVD is bootable, you should be ableto install XP without incident.

Good Luck,

check ram
try hitting f8 on boot see if you can get into safe mode?
if u can then try running chkdsk /f in dos mode
if that doesnt work run a scan in safe mode
if cant get into safemode at all,get a bootable erd commander 2007 and boot with cd,choose your windows installation if you see it and use restore option,if you dont see windows installation at all try backing up ure data if necessary using usb adaptor for hard drive n copy data to other pc nad re install windows

Option 1 (HIGLY Recommended): HP servers should come with an install disk that prepares the windows installer for you. Boot from that disk,tell it your OS, and pop in the disk for the OS when prompted. It will come up fine and have all the HP monitoring agents installed.

Option 2: Load the driver the old fashioned way. Unless you have a floppy drive the standard "Press F6 to load drivers" trick won't work. If you do, then you'll need to put the RAID driver on the disk.

Option 3: Use an installation customizer like nLite to pre-add the RAID driver to the Windows 2003 installer.

Good luck.

You need to press F6 and load special drivers for your disk driver card
See which disk adapter your server has and get the drivers on a floppy disk
Put the disk into your computer before seutp, then click F6 when prompted
it will search your floppy drive for them

Yes

You need to download the drivers from the Compaq/HP WEB support/download page. Make sure you select your model computer and the XP or Vista Windows version of the drivers you require and install them. Use this link to download the drivers: -
