Problems Installing Windows 2000 on HP NetServer LH3 with NetRAID

When you install Windows 2000 on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) NetServer LH3 with a system partition larger than one gigabyte (GB) in size, you receive the following error message when the computer restarts:

Windows 2000 does not include a driver for the HP NetRAID adapter. When you attempt to use the HP driver for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, the same problem can occur.

To work around this problem, create a partition that is smaller than 1 GB in size during the Text-mode portion of Setup. This allows the installation process to continue.

1. Upgrade the system BIOS to 4.06.43 PL or higher.
2. Upgrade the NetRAID firmware to D.03.02 or higher.
3. Restart your computer to continue Setup.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
