Proliant ML110 G6 - Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration
I'm attempting to install Window Server 2008 "Enterprise" and receive the following error after selecting the disk to install to. **note these version of windows is a trail version that came with self-pace training kit**
"Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed."
Here are the steps that lead me to that point.
1. Power up and insert the HP Easy Setup CD "SmartStart??"
2. Select langauge / keyboard type
3. Terms yes
4. Select operation, select "install"
5. Storage controller indicates "Disk 1: 149GB" select next
6. Select Retail Media and Windows Server 2008x32 Enterprise
7. Defaults with DVD-ROM media and Flat Files, select next
8. Selected boot partition size
9. Enter in product setup (i.e computer name, admin password, etc.
10. starts the process then stops and asks for OS CD.
11. Copies files and then on 2nd step gives error.
I've read a couple other posts, for DL380 G5, indicating the following setups:
"""* HP tech had me boot into the BIOS (RBSU) and go to Advanced Options --> Restore Default Settings\Erase Boot Partition.
* Once i pressed enter on that, the server rebooted on its own.
* While booting, i went into the RAID controller (ORCA) and deleted then recreated the logical partitions.
* Once i did this, i ran the windows 2008 install on its own, without using Smart Start, and...
* The installation succeeded!!""""
I didn't want to try yet because its a new server and different model.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, as I'm new to HP server and some what new to system administration.

Re: Proliant ML110 G6 - Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration
1. Updated BIOS to Version 0270610 (6/21/2010)
2. Attempted following steps in original post, no luck
3. Tried Server 08 install directly from CD/DVD, same issue.
Any thoughts/recommendations?

Re: Proliant ML110 G6 - Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration
Also, during research on HP, I did notice the ML110 uses the HP Easy Set-up CD and not smartstart, although they appear to be basically the same. I downloaded and used the latest version 2.30(b) and still ran into the same error/issue.
For kicks, I tried to do a install of Windows 7 on the ML110 G6 server and guess what... it installed just fine. Although I do think a few drivers may be lacking.
I'm really wanting to get server 2008 installed, since I'm not sure Windows 7 will allow me to take advantage of features the Proliant server offers.
No other potential solutions or advice on tackling the install issue??

Re: Proliant ML110 G6 - Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration
After the Windows 7 install I decided to attempt the Server 2008 install and at the screen for select of partition I performed the following to remove the System Reserved partition created by windows 7.
Diskpart
- List disk
- select disk 0
- clean
- create partition primary
- select partition 1
- active
- format fs=ntfs
Once completed, I canceled out of the install and inserted the HP Easy Set-up CD and started the install up again using easy setup.
Installed and completed just fine with HP Management Agents installed and working. Well working to a point.. I did notice it was unable to determine memory on the system.
So it looks like I'm good for my 120 days, so better get cracking on my test reviews/practice exams and case studie, so i can pass a few certs for M$.
