Windows 2000 Server Setup Hang
Our Server is a Compaq ML530 P19 800/128 Mhz, 1GB RAM, with Smart array 3200 with an existing NT4 OS. 4x18GB HD, RAID5 with online spare.
Whenever I boot the win2k installer cd, the setup hangs after loading all the drivers. The screen that is supposed to ask to Press Enter to Continue, R for repair and F3 to quit does not appear. All lights of the HD are on as if it is reading.
I have already updated the BIOS and Firmware of the scsi controller but thesame problem.
What are the possible reasons why Win2K setup hangs?
I have another Identical server (twin server, all hardware settings are thesame but with Netware 5 OS) and the win2k setup runs fine on that machine.
Could this be a controller problem?
If I swap the controllers of the two servers, will it have any effect on the data of both the servers?

Re: Windows 2000 Server Setup Hang
then, be sure to select W2K in the bios setup before to install the OS, because w2k is P&P and NT4 was not.

Re: Windows 2000 Server Setup Hang
Does it still boot into NT4?
If so, you could backup the data, then reset the config, install the OS, and restore the data.
Also, if I remember my Win2k upgrade procedures, you should be able to perform the upgrade by booting NT4, insert the install CD, and upgrade from there (ie: usermode, rather than bootmode).
Good luck,
Vince

Re: Windows 2000 Server Setup Hang
I just finished installing Win2K with all my data in Drive D.
Thanks all for the reply/suggestions.
