Re: Install Windows XP professional on DL 380 G5
But I just did that last week.
You need to download P400 driver for win2K from HP website, and extra them into a folder.
Then use nLite to rebuild your own XP installation disk. with P400 driver as text-driver.
Then you can install XP for your DL380 G5.

Re: Install Windows XP professional on DL 380 G5
Which SP did you use along with the XP installation kit? Is it SP2 or SP3?

Re: Install Windows XP professional on DL 380 G5
Secondly, has to include this drive as text-mode, otherwise, windows will not run it before installation.
For your questions, I did that with SP3.

I have extracted the exe file and I am trying to create an image with integrating this driver with the XP CD(Still I am doubtful which SP should I try with) using nlite application. But, there is no inf file within the extrcted folder. Can someone help me out? Is there any other way?

Re: Install Windows XP professional on DL 380 G5
It is doubtful that the driver HP provides for Win2K and WS03 for the SA-P400 are the same. Please download and extract the driver. I would imagine that there is a Win2K SCSIport driver and a WS03 Storport driver. Windows XP Professional x86 (32-bit) only supports SCSIport drivers.

SolutionThe URL you provided is not a driver--it is a firmware upgrade.
Following is the Smart Array SAS/SATA Controller (SA-P400) (SCSIport) driver for Win2K which is what I would try:

Re: Install Windows XP professional on DL 380 G5
I owe you a beer bud! Thanks for helpinf me out!
Ok, So I will explain here what I have done to install Windows XP Pro on HP Proliant server DL380 G5. This may be helpful to a NOOB like me :)
1. I have downloaded nlite first. It is an image making software(as far as I know).
2. Go to the page Kedd has suggested in his post or download the driver for the storage controller he had suggested for Windows2k3.
3. Now using nlite integrate the driver with the Windows XP Pro in text mode and create a bootable iso. nlite is a user friendly application and anyone can do it.
4. Now insert the CD into the CD ROM of your HP Server and proceed with the usual installation steps for Windows XP.
Cheers to all!

Re: Install Windows XP professional on DL 380 G5
From what I've read the next problem you may encounter is trying to get the NCU (Network Configuration Utility) to load on WinXP. I'm not sure if anyone ever managed to get that working.
