https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/hp/hp-proliant-ml370-g2-server/compaq-proliant-ml370-g2-service-update.html

HPE has the , 642 book here. (just a spec)

https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04284123


if read that page it tells you the controller is only works with
SCSI
Compatibility with all Ultra320, Ultra3 and Ultra2 LVD family products.
it also tells you , it needs the HP utility tools to set it up properly


why would your clean disks boot? why say that?
what does this mean?
"and i replace hard drives to clean and check" surely you can elaborate the full story,
last run when?> what G number is it.
what drives , make and model. installed.
do you have the software setup seen on page 5 link just above.
quote
All Smart Array products share a common set of configuration, management and diagnostic tools,
including Array Configuration Utility, Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU), and Insight Manager.


this product is offically retired, by hp and only few books there.
but google finds many books, 15 years old now. (as old as...)

see this, it tells you what to do in 77 pages.

my guess is you get lost at Set the boot controller
(Chapter 4).
my guess, is that you have no HP sofware support kits.
just hardware there.... right?

next time tell the helper, full spec on 370 Gn G numer.
and full spec , on 642, version. and that you dont have the HP software kit to support this machine, it's no simple desktop, no at all.
at the least you get stuck here,

Create at least one logical drive, as described in Chapter 5.

HP SmartStart CD x32
The utility to use to set up the ML370 g3 server is the SSCD (smart start cd) this is a guided installation cd that will help you set up the array, install drivers and diagnostic utilities and after that
will request the windows cd so that you can finish the installation.
instructions:
1. download SSCD from here
2. extract the zip file
3. burn the ISO image to a cd
4. boot the server to the cd
5. choose from the main menu the option "Deploy server"
6. follow the wizard

Press F10 during post boot if you have smartstart installed in the partition. If not, you need to boot from SmartStart CD.

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.

That server should have a Intel NC3221 NIC in it. You can try this driver

http://www.driverfiles.net/Network-Adapters/Compaq/page,level2,27,9,resultpage1.html

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

your HDD is not configured

Hi,

Have you installed any service packs for Win 2K3?
if not yet, please go for the latest service packs since there were some problems identified with win 2k3 and this is one of them.

You can also try restarting the sytem in safe mode by pressing F8 after boot screen.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Are you attempting to boot from the Windows CD?

If you are booting the server from a Windows installation disk and it is unable to detect the hard drive, this typically means the following things.
You need to provide the driver for the RAID controller of the server (this can vary, depending on the version of the ML370 e.g. G4/G5)
If it still cannot detect the hard drive after providing the driver for the RAID controller or if there is not a driver available for NT4, it may not support the controller.
In this case you can remove the RAID set by entering the RAID setup (could be LSI or adaptec). NOTE THIS WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON THE DISKS THAT ARE A PART OF THIS RAID SET.
