Hi,
Please let us know these details.

Number of Hard Drives and Raid Configuration
Windows 2003 R2 and what is the integrated SP?
Have you tried installing W2K3 R2 without using Easy Setup CD?

Thanks

hello Eddy,

hmm, your secund post said:

"I have tried without the Easy setup n it works but does not install all the drivers"

what is the problem? you can install w2k3 without EasyCd, it's a supported methold.
after the install, just insert the your EasyCd and it will be autorun the drivers install.
after install it, you may check the latest driver on hp site (drivers than newer than EasyCd)
in exaple: latest EasyCd for 150g6 - 2.00b - 2009.08.20, but the lates nic driver 2010.11.13....
so afer install an os (with or without EasyCd) you have to check hp site for newer driver / firmware

here is ml 150 g6 / w2k3 (32 bit):
