Problem installing NT 4 Server on DL380 G2

DL380 G2. The bluescreen message is "NO SYSTEM PTES". I installed the SCSI 5300 driver also. Any ideas? Thanks. |

All you need to download is he
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/fi...te/7_1342.html Update the Firmware - BIOS + SmartArray card at the very minimum Boot to SmartStart CD and run a hardware diagnostics test Make a full note of the blue screen, and Google until you get some sort of clue as to what the problem is.

Problem installing NT 4 Server on DL380 G2
I did everything like you mentioned and used two different smartstart
cds(5.5 and 6.4 versions) with same result. whether i chose on smartstart cd to install Microsoft NT 4 server or Microsoft NT 4 server(for MS customers only), it asked for an NT Server 4 CD to install the files. I used my old NT Server 4.0 cd. Not sure if that is the problem, but that is the only NT 4 Server cd in my company that i can find. The reason i had to install NT 4 Server is that some appications from client are still only running on NT 4 and will not work on Win 2003 server,so i had to make my client happy. |

As an alternative I suggest you install Windows 2003 server and then
run NT 4 on the free MS virtual server product. I have successfully used this combination to support legacy applications.

Make sure your system partition is less than 8 Mb. Old trick (very old)

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. Phil |
