Thomas - I have an E60 as well and I am running Windows Server 2003.

If you are trying to do a clean install you must first update the BIOS to support Windows Server 2003. You might have to update the NetRAID BIOS as well. Check HP's website. Also, download all the available drivers, especially the NetRAID driver. You will need to put this driver on a floppy for installation. After you upgrade the BIOS, you should be able to boot from CD. When it starts be sure to hit the F6 when prompted. Then add the NetRAID driver so it recognized the NetRAID controller and your disk drives. This is assuming that you have already built your arrays using the NetRAID configuration utility.

Hope this helps.

Thomas,

It could be that you need to make the BIOS Boot from CD. Go into the setup mode and make sure the BIOS is set to boot from CD first. Another possibilities is that your OS CD is bad.

Here is the link:

If you need the BIOS updated select the link that says "Cross operating system (BIOS, Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.)"

Hope this helps.
