Proliant DL380G4 "Program too big to fit in memory error"

[Gary J]

I am trying to install Windows 2003 Std Server on a Proliant DL380G4.

I receive the error "Program too big to fit in memory error" after SmartStarting the server (7.10 or 7.20) and copying over the Windows 2003 Standard Server installation files.

The server has 4Gb of physical memory installed.

Has anyone else seen this error and know how to get around it??

You might try dropping the memory down to 2GB for the installation, and then add the rest in after Windows is properly installed. Windows does some goofy things when you have 4 GB of memory installed.

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks for your reply.. It turned out to be a faulty Windows 2003 Std Srv CD.
