Windows 2000 server on LC3

[CA1148982]

I've installed Windows 2000 server on 2 different LC3s with the same result - 'A disk read erro has occurred' when the Windows installation reboots. I installed the OS with the latest Netraid drivers for Windows 2000. Thanks for any help.

Hi,

how far into the booting do the errors occur?
What did you have as os on the machines before and on what disks/controller did you install Windows?

greetings,

Michael

It gets the error on the first reboot after the Windows 2000 installation copies files. There is no OS on the drive.

Jim:

Try a different Windows 2000 CD if you have one? Your media may be goofed up?

That is an option although I used this media last week to install several other servers. I'll give it a try though.

Hi Jim,
Make sure you got the latest BIOS on the server and latest Firmware on the netraid controller (you did no mention what kind it is). The latest BIOS for the server and firmware forn the netraid controller could be downloaded from this link
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?locale=en_US&pnameOID=15811&taskId=135&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=50443〈=en&cc=us&swEnvOID=54

1. Download both the BIOS and Firmware (from the link above) in to your hard drive
2. Creat a bootable diskett off of each downloads by excuting the downloaded files
3. Update the BIOS by booting the server from the BIOS floppy diskett you created in step 2 and on the next reboot press F2 to get in to the BIOS, then press F10 to save settings and exit(if you had a Custom BIOS setting make sure they are as they were before the BIOS update)
4. Update the Firmware on the netraid controller by booting from the netraid firmware diskett you have created in step 2

Note:
The recommended slot for the raid controller on this server is Slot 5 or 6 so make sure your raid controller is in one of this slots

I hope this will fix your issue

When I try to flash the BIOS I get this error message:

"Open failed on BIOS ROM image file"
