Proliant DL360 G2 Server Problems

[Krysune]

Both hard drives on it are wiped clean, it wont boot from the CD, it tells you *Attempting to boot from CD* then *Attempting to boot from Floppy* Etc it wont boot from the CD though, any ideas? It goes past it, and goes to another screen which looks like this. Picture below if allowed to view http://i53.tinypic.com/wmckle.jpg
Then it says *Non-System disk or disk error*

Regardless of the disks it should boot from the CDRom. What OS are you trying to boot?
Are you sure that you don't have a faulty CDrom? I'll start my making sure that there isn't a hardware fault with the CDrom unit itself and then I'll try and use an older smartstart disks to boot from.
Let us know if you can get the CDrom booting to work and then we'll take it further.

Well I was going to install Windows 2003, I don't have my smartstart CD's though, where could I find them? I forget the link HP provides on here for it.

it is worth upgrading the firmware while you are at it.
