Hello Everyone.

I have a problem with this installation, when i try to install the Windows 2000 AS on the server, i start the installation using SmartStart 7.51 after this cheking it`s ask for OS cd-rom in order to copy all these files, after these file copy from windows 2000 as files to server booting the server and give me this message:

Manafacturer supplied hardware Support disk.

Any idea.

Thanks to all

Normally you should not experience problem like that, unless there is some radical changes in 7.51. When it done with smart start CD and once you provide Windows it will copy files with on more restart for install and after you don't really needed. However try with F6 if it's SAS model. Otherwise why you need smart start, just take extra time to load, PSP will be much faster to install after.
