Hi i have HP Proliant ml 150 but i cant install server 2003 . how to install windows server 2003

Hello,

As long as the server meets the XP minimum spec, you can insert the XP boot disc and reboot your server. As long as the CD/DVD is bootable, you should be ableto install XP without incident.

Good Luck,

Hi,

ProLiant ML 110 server series does not supports windows XP. It Support only the below OS.

1. Windows 2000
2. Windows 2003
3. NetWare 5.1
4. NetWare 6.0
5. NetWare 6.5
6. RHEL 2.1 (32 Bit)
7. RHEL 4 (32 Bit)
8. RHL 9
9. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8

If you want to force this hardware to support windows XP, then download windows 2003 drivers which is equivalent to XP; but not the same as XP.

WINDOWS 2003 DRIVER LINK

The SCSI driver is required to installed during the initial boot up for installation when additional drivers are asked .the new models dont come with a Floppy drive so an external floppy drive can be used .The detection of HDD s must be at the startup by the Bios os SCSI card.

Attach an external hard disc and put all your data in it. If the PC came with this OS then hp must have given a rescue disc, use that to boot and follow the instructions on the screen.........sodeep
