Installing 2nd NT on Dell PwrEdge 4300

by adriansu . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

I am in the process of installing NT on the E drive (1.5gb) of a Dell PowerEdge 4300 with an American Megatrends Perc controller. Reason for this is that I have installed a second processor and want to upgrade first NT instance to multi-processor.
Problem is as follows:
1) I start NT CD and select F6 to bypass the auto-selection, I then put in the driver diskette for the Perc controller and add the drivers.

2) I then proceed with installing the new instance of NT. I am allowed to select the E drive as the target and compelte an NTFS format.

3) After formatting the drive, the NT install goes back to the driver diskette but fails to read it the second time saying I have a problem with the disk or CD-ROM.

I have tried several diskettes and even downloaded the latest drivers without sucess.

Anyone see this problem before or have any ideas?.
