Hello Carlos,
Yes you can do it. Start your server with Smart Start CD 5.50 version if possible. Run system erase(assuming you will be starting from scratch). Choose the assisted method of installation. If you have any problems let me know.

Hello Carlos,
You should contact a local reseller or order via Web. Here is the link:

The best way would be to call your local support team from HP and specify that you need 5.50 version.

Hello Carlos,
Unfortunately, you wont be able to install W2K with SmartStart 4.5. I believe the support for W2K started with 4.8 version onwards. If you dont intend to set up RAID then you can do the basic setup with System configuration via SP19619 and then start with W2K CD. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Regards,

Hello Carlos,
That means your diskette is messed up and you have to recreate the diskette. Just recreate the diskette and cold boot your system with disk one and then follow the on screen instructions.
