My server still crashes, so i have asked another co-worker who works
offsite to come into the office to help me this coming week. I did use
4Gig as system partition also. Still problem.


If I remember correctly, when I last loaded NT4 on a Compaq we had to
start
with the 4 install floppy's. Bear in mind, that was a month or two of
Sundays ago. As I remember, we had multiple problems trying to use cd
only.
The floppies to start did the trick, at least for me.
I'm surprised NutCracker hasn't said something as he is/was, if he is
still
with us, the resident windows expert.

One other note, If and when you do install NT4, load the patches/service
packs and get it to SP6a. I think that was the last service pack. I would
think it is still available, if not yell and I can zip it up.

I am getting a bluescreen installing NT 4 server on a Compaq Proliant
DL380 G2. The bluescreen message is "NO SYSTEM PTES". I installed the
SCSI 5300 driver also. Any ideas? Thanks.

Just an idea: how much memory does your machine have? Older WindowsNT 4
releases (IIRC before SP6) shows this error when trying to boot on a
machine with more than 2GB of memory.

In this case You could try to remove memory, install Windows, then
upgrade to SP6a, and then reinstall the memory.
