HP ML150 Load Problem

[Colin Wagner]

Hi

I have a HP ML150 and a Smart Array 200 Controller with 3 x 500GB SATA HDD's when I try load Win 2003, and (have made the Driver Diskette) and whilst load, Windows asks for F6 for additional Adapters, I press F6 and then load the Diskette, and choose the Smart Array Adapter, but then Windows goes as far as "Setup is Starting Windows" and then freezes, any ideas please.

Hi Colin

I belive that you are using the Smart Array E200 Controller. To resolve the issue Try Upgrading the System BIOS and E200 Controller firmware

Iam Not Sure About the Generation of the ML150 that you are using , hence Iam attaching the link for the Smart array Controller. Download the BIOS update form HP Wesite depending on the Generaton of server that you are using

E200 Firmware
