ML370 G2 and Windows 2003
I have tried using Smart Start 7.3 to do a automated install.
All is fine, the Smart Process works ok, it then asks for the OS Disk, all is copied.
The server re-boots, i remove the disk.
The server then copies more files from the hard drive
Then, when the screen shows "Windows is starting set up" the screen freezes and stays there.
I have tried several times with the same result also tried older revisions of Start Smart with the same result.
Please help !!!!!

Re: ML370 G2 and Windows 2003
You can start by updating the Firmware and then install with the actual SmartStart version:

Re: ML370 G2 and Windows 2003
when you say that previous links did not help you? you mean you already tried smartstart 7.9 - 7.91? and the same?
because 7.3 it is very very old version
something else which windows? 2000 - 2003?
----
also try booting in safe mode (f8) and check if you can enter
regards

Re: ML370 G2 and Windows 2003
Can you try to install without SmartStart - just boot from windows 2003 CD
(you probably will need to add SmartArray driver if you have SmartArray on this server)

>> "Windows is starting set up" the screen freezes and stays there
I have seen such behaviour on G1 servers (and Proliant 1600 as well). The solution was to set windows 2000 as OS in RBSU (system configuration utility)
Although you have G2 server - can you seek for this option in server BIOS - probably G2 still have such option?
(I currently have only G1, G3, G4, G5 servers, so I cannot check on G2...)

Re: ML370 G2 and Windows 2003
The OS is set to Other OS, but have also tried set to Windows 2000
