Installing Windows 2000 on a non LUN 0 device

[Chris Wyld]

I am installing Win2k server on a ProLiant ML350 booting from a VA7410. I have configured the HBA to use the first non LUN 0 device as its' boot disk. However, when I get to the part of setup where you choose where to install the O/S, it recognizes the LUNs I have prepared for the server, but I get the following message: "The hard disk containing the partition or free space you chose has a LUN greater than 0. Therefore, your computer's startup program cannot gain access to the disk. Setup cannot install Windows on this disk." I have setup up numerous machines in the same way. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

Did you enable the BIOS on the HBA?

[Chris Wyld]

Yes, I did.

Well, it appears there is a bug in the Windows 2000 Server w/Service Pack 3 CD. When we used the Win2k w/SP 2 CD, it loads with no problems. Then I can go to SP 3 and 4. Weird, huh?
