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,

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

HP Proliant 150 G6 has a hot-swappable harddisk cage in the front. Open the front cover and you will be able to slot in the hot-swappable hard drive.

You must have a bootable files in a DVD where system files are usefull as bootup system.

The SCSI driver is required to installed during the initial boot up for installation when additional drivers are asked .the new models dont come with a Floppy drive so an external floppy drive can be used .The detection of HDD s must be at the startup by the Bios os SCSI card.

u need to have Win2003 install disk...
insert the disk in the CDROM drive
let it boot and load all system files and then it will ask u to format the disk
let it format the disk
and it will auto install the win2003 os
before u do this take a backup of ur data...

Check your BIOS if it's detect your Hard Drive.If detected then check your system BIOS whether SATA setting is enable or not. Disable it if you have enable it in IDE configuration.If you find there is no way to configure SATA in your BIOS setting then you need to download SATA driver for that Hard drive and used a software called nlite.

Here is the link for nlite software
