hi,

i got a problem installing windows2003 into ml150

- windows server 2003
- SmartArray E200/128

i've extrac out the driver from HP SmartStart CD 7.91 under

- /driver/hpcisss2
- i also copy the txtsetup.oem from /driver

1. i boot with windows OS CD
2. use F6 option to manually load the driver for the SmartArray E200
3. i specify the driver as 'SmartArrayt SAS/SATA'
4. then it try to load the 'hpcisss2.sys' but it failed with file 'hpcisss2.sys' is corrupted.

i also have tried to get the driver from another SmartStart CD but the same error occur.

i even try to swap the floppy driver with another (as well 'HP branded')

any other step or advice??
