Pb to install win2000 with raid 1 wit HP Server DL 140 G3

[Hassani_1]

Hi,

I have a problem, i can't install win2000.
I enabled the sata raid 1 in the bios and i installed win2003(i have copied the storage driver in the boot cd win2003)and it's ok.
But when i copy the storage driver controller(http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26742.html) in the boot cd win2000 and i restart to install it, it give me a message error that it's not possible to start the installation of win2000.
Please help me . It is the good driver? It's ok in win 2003 not in win 2000.

Hello Hassani,

"If" you are using the correct drivers, You may using a 3rd party software nLITE & integrate this drivers to the OS; & create a bootable CD.

[Dmitry_75]

In Bios settings you must have several settings, as writeback cach enabled and bootable . Placed in a bottom of screen.

[Hassani_1]

Excuse me i'm sorry

but i didn't find it.
I go to advanced chipset control and nothing(the sata raid is enabled)

Please help me
Thank you very much

Hi,

Have you tried alternative versions of the driver kit? Here are the previous versions which may work.

Hi,

in BIOS under Advanced-Advanced Chipset Control -> Serial ATA->SATA controller mode
Compatible/Enhanced"? Try changing the setting to the other one.

If this don't help try Advanced-advanced processor options- hyperthreading to disable.
There are sometimes issues with installing OS with Hyperthreading enabled.

If possible try different w2k CD.
