NT to 2000

[Oliver Parkhouse_1]

we have an lh3000r, and am trying to upgrade from NT to 2000. however we also have an netraid 4m. I have tried the drivers with the win2 batch file. Ran that, a few access denied messages but it says install succesful. Tried running the upgrade but still says the 4m is there and upgrade fails. please help

Please try the following steps and let me know how this works for you.

1.Go to [Start], [Settings], [Control Panel].

2.Open [Devices],

3.look for these four devices,
hpndisk
hpncomm
hpnport
hpn (don't worry if one is missing, disable the rest and continue)

4.Select each device one at a time, and click [Startup], then check the [Disable] radio button for each of the hpn* devices. Click [OK].

5.Restart server.

6.Do *NOT* run the W2kSetup.bat file on the Win2K drivers disk.

7.Begin Windows 2000 upgrade.

Forgot to mention,
Only if the 4m is not the boot device.

hi
may be a stupid question, but did you have realy a netradi 4M in your server?, somes automated installation load 4M drivers under NT4 even if there is no 4M card, thath why you cannot migrate for nt to w2k.
I'm not sure this aply to your case but check..
hope can help
