I have an old LX Pro 6/200 (Dual Proc) that was running Windows NT 4.0 and have just tried to do a clean install of Win 2K. The CD boots but freezes at the "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" black screen. So doesn't get very far.
Any ideas? I've tried disabling the IDE controller etc. The server currently has two HP NICs, a NetRAID controller (3 channel). The RAID array consists of 3x 18Gig drives in a RAID 5 array, no volumes have been created yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryce.

You may also want to strip the server of all accessories, see if it will boot, then start adding them one at a time to see if Windows has a problem with one of them.
Also, Windows requires MPS 1.4. This can be set in the bios by booting to the ECU diskette. Make sure you BIOS is up-to-date too.

Re: Installing Windows 2k Server on LX Pro
Using the boot floppies solved the problem and installation was successful and all runs fine now.

Re: Installing Windows 2k Server on LX Pro
As I understand it there is no specific NetRAID driver for Windows 2000 but the driver Windows installs during installation seems to work fine.
Hope this helps.
Bryce.

Re: Installing Windows 2k Server on LX Pro
I had read somewhere that you can't have a boot partition over a Gig on a raid controller with Windows 2000. Don't know but it worked.
