What kind of system are you installing it on?

In reply to Blue Screen Error in windows server 2003

This may make a difference – there may be no appropriate drivers. Or you may just need to find them and install them during windows installation.

If it is a problem with the HAL, I’d suggest fully wiping the drive with DBAN first, before attempting re-installation.

Dell Poweredge T110

Thanks for your suggestions.
I’m installing it on Dell Poweredge T110 with 1 HDD only. So I dont require RAID drivers. As a matter of fact, I hv alrdy installed it with same CD on Dell Vostro 200 & installation was smooth in one shot. I’ll try DBAN.

Recovery CD

It depends on your system, each server come with a recovery CD, to start with before you use Windows installation CD.
Check your server vendor website.

don’t you hate it when that happens…
