Won't format

ProLiant DL380 G3, auto-install. Script's going fine, gets to phase 3 and says invalid drive specification.

CPQDISK runs with no error; here's the .prt file currently - Partition 0 was originally set to type 6, I changed it to 12. Neither way works. Have tried it from a proper floppy, as well as PXE, same results.

[GENERAL PARAMETERS]
OVERWRITE = TRUE

[PARTITION0]
size = 4096
type = 12
active = TRUE

[PARTITION1]
size = 4096
type = 6
active = FALSE

[PARTITION2]
size = 4096
type = 6
active = FALSE

As an FYI, I solved this - changed Partition 0 to 2044 (just to be sure), worked perfectly. Then just used unattend.txt to expand it later

Just a question...why are you setting up the Compaq system partition on a G3? All utilities are ROM based on these models.
