FIRST thing to do is to run the ERASE UTILITY.
I am sure, after which installing OS wont be a issue.
Cheers !

Re: DL380 OS install - Windows 2003 - SmartStart won't boot
Unfortunately, it will only TRY to boot from a VMware CD, it fails after a few checks. It does not give any sign of trying to boot from a SmartStart CD nor a W2003 CD. I am really suprised that even a SmartStart CD which is designed to work on these systems is not recognized.

This doesnt say that DL380 G1 supports win2k3 !!
Nevertheless,

Suggests that you may want to try & upgrade the Firmware of the server.(firmware CD).
Cheers !

Re: DL380 OS install - Windows 2003 - SmartStart won't boot
I did try the SmartStart 7 with no luck. My next efforts will be to get a floppy boot disk and see where I get from there.

The erase utility ahould come up once the CD has booted.
Unfortunately you may have trouble finding one now...

Re: DL380 OS install - Windows 2003 - SmartStart won't boot
I do not think you have a choice due to the cd booting problems.
Run Erase from floppy. Then try the 5.5 CD. If that still does not work you may need to create the SCU (System Configuration Utility) on floppies (3 of them last I remember). Once you get the system to boot to floppies on the first menu after hitting enter press CTRL+A then select the first option on the first screen and the first option on the second screen. The system will load and ask for more floppy disks. Once this has finished make sure you select view/edit and find the (name of the value is vague) but I seem to remember is in the processor options. You need to make sure you select "Full Table Mapped". Save then reboot to your Windows 2003 CD. You may need to provide Windows with the right array controller driver via the F6 at the 2003 boot. I have been successful on a ML370 Pre G anything installing windows 2003 as mention above.
Even if you do get 5.5 working it will not install Windows 2003 the only selection you will have is "Other" and all that will do is create the F10 partition and let you configure the array controller.
Hope that helps good luck!
