Re: Proliant ML530 G1
If the SmartStart CD failed to boot, but a W2K CD did, that sounds as though your 5.5 CD might be faulty.
How did you create the CD ?
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Proliant ML530 G1
Try using the system configuration utility (SCU) diskettes (You will need 4 blank disks). Download the kit from here.
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/13227.html
I don't believe that the downloadable V5.50 CD image is bootable as Compaq had to pay a license fee to Microsoft for the Windows 98 front end on the original Smartstart CD's. Later Smartstart CD's use a free Linux front end.
You need to set the Smart Array 4200 to be the first boot device and it probably isn't. Use the diskettes to go into the SCU and select View/Edit details. Go down to the SA4200 and change its boot order to FIRST, save the changes and exit. If the O/S has been loaded onto the SA4200 disks succesfully it may now boot OK. As the ML530 is a generation 1 system you can't use any version of Smartstart above V5.50 (The last G1 support disk)to install the O/S but I know you have done it manually now using the W2K CD. You may only need to set the boot order correctly to get it to boot.
As Proliants have specific Compaq/HP drivers it is important to install the Compaq/HP driver kits (Called the Proliant Support Pack or PSP) if the O/S has been installed manually. This will sort any missing drivers in device manager.
Although once booted you could access the PSP from the Smartstart 5.50 CD you created, it may be better just to load the latest version available rather than update twice. You can download the Windows 2000 PSP V7.60 from here.
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/24183.html
If you need any BIOS, Adapter firmware for the SA4200 or any other driver updates you can download them from here.

I hope this helps.

Re: Proliant ML530 G1
Check the system board switches with the attached document. Normally only switch 3 would be on if it's a rackmount server - all others off. Switch 3 would also be off if its a Tower system.
Try placing switch 4 in the on position to ensure that the floppy disk is always enabled for boot, regardless of the SCU settings.
Of course it may be simpler than that. Maybe the heads on the floppy disk drive are dirty and need cleaned.
I hope this helps.

Re: Proliant ML530 G1
As you have used Smartstart initially, I would suggest you to update your firware again.

Re: Proliant ML530 G1
You might have tried this; if not, if you have bootable CD, boot from that CD and make sure your hard disk is fine by running FDisk. and make sure to change the boot sequence also (from any of the correct disk partitioned for windows)
