Which SmartStart version you use and what message you have when you try to boot from SmartStart CD?

What version of smart start are you using and is the RAID controller selected as Boot Controller?

Finally i have found the problem.

the problem was: i have installed hp-cdrom as slave and a tape drive (stt20000a) as master (i have 1 only ide controller in system board).
Then i've try to set cdrom as master and tape drive as slave and smartstart (or originally win 2000 server cd) boot.

Thank you all.
