Pb to install win2000 with raid 1 wit HP Server DL 140 G3

[Hassani_1]

Hi,

I have a problem, i can't install win2000.
I enabled the sata raid 1 in the bios and i installed win2003(i have copied the storage driver in the boot cd win2003)and it's ok.
But when i copy the storage driver controller(http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26742.html) in the boot cd win2000 and i restart to install it, it give me a message error that it's not possible to start the installation of win2000.
Please help me . It is the good driver? It's ok in win 2003 not in win 2000.

Hello Hassani,

"If" you are using the correct drivers, You may using a 3rd party software nLITE & integrate this drivers to the OS; & create a bootable CD.

Hello Hassani,

That is the Correct Drivers !

I am surprised that nLITE didn't work !

I hope you are following the correct procedures.

Hi Hassani!
Make sure that sata controller set as bootable in cont. BIOS. It magically important for win2000
