Smart Array P800 driver for Windows 2000

hi

No, nothing seems to work for this and I am running out of time.

Guys,
I finally got it working. I must have fat fingered it the last time I tried, but I put the Vendor ID from the 2k3 driver into the W2k driver and it finally seemed to work. I was able to finally load ACU and talk to the controller, but it didn't see any drives. I updated the firmware on the controller and then power cycled the server and lo and behold, I am in operation.

Thanks a bunch
Chris

Just insert Ven info from W2k3 driver into W2k driver

I am having a similiar situation with a Proliant ML 370 G4. Is there a way i could get step-by-step instructions of what you did to fix your problem? I tried calling the HP Helpdesk but all i got was the standard "canned" response of you must load Windows 2003.

Found the solution to my problem with the ML 370. Hit this link and download the file:

I then had to rename the hpcissm2.sys file to hpcisss2.sys

it thinks its a compaq driver but i was able to use Disk management to get the drive arrays online.
