Re: NetServer LH Pro - Windows 2003 Installation Hangs
But every windows disk I have does the same thing as Scott's on my LH Pro. It just hangs when it gets to the "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration"
It does the same thing when I boot from floppies in Windows 2000 Pro and run setup.
Are there updated drivers for the Adaptec cards that can solve this issue?

Re: NetServer LH Pro - Windows 2003 Installation Hangs
Skip step 1 & 2 if array and logical disks already done.
1.Build array(If not built)
2.Initiate logical disks(if not done)
3.Start server with a w98 startdisk.
4.Run FDISK and make FAT partitions.
5.Restart server(W98 disk)
6.Format disks (FAT)
7.Start installation from CD(Drive:\i386\winnt.exe)
8.Remove diskette and CD when prompted to restart.
9.When server boots do NOT press F6.Follow instructions on screen...preferably install on FAT and convert to NTFS after installation.
Hope this helps.

Re: NetServer LH Pro - Windows 2003 Installation Hangs
The reason the server hangs is because it cannot recognize the Raid Array. This is a know issue as many people have the exact same problem on the exact same server.
One solution:
Boot from the Windows XP Boot Disks that are available at http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=310994
Install windows xp then reinstall a fresh version of whatever flavor of Windows Server 2003 you wish. Time consuming but it works.
Please Note that there is no flavor of Windows Server 2003 that will recognize and utilize the older Dual Pentium Pro's. I have tried everything I can think of with no luck. But windows XP does recognize and utilize the Dual Pent. Pro's.
The other way is to install another IDE Hard Drive in the server. Change the bios settings to boot from the IDE Drive and the server will boot from a CD and install any os you want. You will however have to hit the F6 key to add 3rd party drivers and install the Raid driver for the SCSI drives when prompted.
Hope this helps
Michael
