Not sure if win 2008 is already supported for Integrities - you'll need a special ia64 version (the same for all other operating systems - x86 or x64 will not work).

I have the standrd windows 2008 IA64 ,
perhaps it's doesn't work ,
should i ask microsoft or HP for this special version IA64 or there is no way to install win 2008 on my integrety server rx2660 ?

many thanks for advices

according to this it is still not listed
http://h20341.www2.hp.com/integrity/cache/452196-0-0-0-121.html

but you should always use a smartsetup cd (not smartstart) to setup linux or windows on integrity.

There are different smartsetup cds for linux and windows.

Hello ,
i download the smart setup for windows
i boot from smart setup and i try to install windows server 2003 IA 64 bit , but the installation don't recognize the hard drive ,
i change 3 hard drive ans i retry the windows installation , the same problems ,
no hard drive was found .

i'm sure the hard driver is ok because i start from smart setup for linux and i install redhat without any problems.
