Please see the FAQ question I posted today.
The NetRAID URL is:

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/nonjsnav/hpserverst70403.html

Which Netserver model? If it has an integrated NetRAID controller, use the following web site:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the response, I tried loading NT with the three setup disks and I still get the same error, after I specify which contoller I have. Im working with a 6000lh with an unboard netraid controller. The error says setup is unable to locate the hard drive partititon prepared by the ms-dos portion of setup. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is what I recommend doing.. Make the 3 floppys off the NT 4.0 server CD making sure to use the winnt /ox command. Also recreate the driver diskettes. Then boot to floppy 1 of the 3 floppy set from microsoft. Then after you are at the end of the second diskette you will be prompted to hit enter to detect mass storage. Hit "S" to Skip detection and "S" again to specify additional drivers. Then insert your driver diskette and load the netraid driver. Then after loading your netraid driver hit "s" again to skip, "s" to specify and this time when you have the other option hit the up arrow to show the hidden menu and select the atapi ide cdrom 1.2 driver. Then you should be good to go.

Good Luck

I reloaded the drivers to diskette, and hit f6 on the cd-rom boot, and this time it worked. I dont know why this problem only occurs some of time, I reload these boxes all the time with no difficulties, anyway thanks again for the help
