stumped by proliant 800!!!!

by ogwonu . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

ok, here the lowdown…..

i try set up nt4.0 on this proliant 800. i decided
to start from scratch. so i apply system
erase….no problem.

on restarting smartstart, i get the error
message that no physical or logical disks
were detected…..problem

i’m told to run the sytem erase utility again…so
again i run it and then, on boot up i see after
checking scsi devices, the message no scsi
devices detected or fail ….more problem

figured that my array was not detected,so
downloaded options rompaq ( full release,
among other utilities) from the compaq site,
however whe i try to create the bootable
diskettes, i get the message ” program too big
to fit in memory”(wonder why?)…and this is
from a 256mb 1600 proliant…..

must confess that though it’s a wee bit
frustrating, i’m kinda enjoying it – i’m
learning….

so, what gives? anyone out there enthusiastic
enough to throw a flashlight my way?

thanks
