I've this all didnt work, either your HDD or your MOBO is broken.

Option 1 (HIGLY Recommended): HP servers should come with an install disk that prepares the windows installer for you. Boot from that disk,tell it your OS, and pop in the disk for the OS when prompted. It will come up fine and have all the HP monitoring agents installed.

Option 2: Load the driver the old fashioned way. Unless you have a floppy drive the standard "Press F6 to load drivers" trick won't work. If you do, then you'll need to put the RAID driver on the disk.

Option 3: Use an installation customizer like nLite to pre-add the RAID driver to the Windows 2003 installer.

Good luck.

That should be no problem. Install Windows XP Professional and also the service packs - SP2 (includes SP1) and SP3.

u need to have Win2003 install disk...
insert the disk in the CDROM drive
let it boot and load all system files and then it will ask u to format the disk
let it format the disk
and it will auto install the win2003 os
before u do this take a backup of ur data...

What means "then os is not working"? Was the system rebooting all the time, blue screen, a service was unable to start ...? The CPU fan is turning? Disconned the power cord and press power on for few seconds. Try another bootable CD. Is it still the same boot the system from a (bootable) USB Flash Drive or USB CD/DVD drive. Is this working?

reboot, and check to see if BIOS 'sees' the hard drive...if bios lists the drive, right click on 'My Computer' and select manage drives. the interface there is pretty straight forward... if bios does NOT see your drive, check your pin settings, be sure your connections are tight ...and check the BIOS settings match your drive

Hi there ,
In a HP ml150 you can install a PCI VGA card subject to availability.Normally it comes embeded on the motherboard .But if other devices are installed on the same PCI bus its efficenciay will be dgraded to the PCI VGA card.

Hi, I found this thread interesting. Will try it out today.

It says that the right driver is not in the support CD!! As per the link, the problem was solved for him once he used a USB Floppy drive (Windows compatible).
