Compaq Smartstart DL360

[ljg]

I have a Proliant DL360 server, 1st generation (1266) and I need to load Server 2003 on it. The smartstart disks I have aren't helping me very much. 5.x disk I have only allows me to install win2k (2003 is not an option) and the 7.00 disk I have doesn't deploy to that model server.

What version of smartstart do I need or is there a way to trick ver 5.x into allowing me to install 2003?

Thanks
LJG

You need to install manually since the latest SmartStart 5.50 for the G1 DL360 doesn't support the automated install of Windows Server 2003.
You need to select the 'Manual Install' button when running SmartStart and once the diagnostic partition is installed you install Windows 2003 from the MS CD.

Andy is correct.

When you set it up with smartstart 5.5 use the windows 2000 setting. Then boot from and install the MS cd as usual.
