I have inherited 2 Proliant 6500s w SmartArray 3200 controllers and 7 x 9GB Hard Drives. I purchased the SmartStart 5.5 from HP and proceeded through configuring the arrays last night. I was able to install Win 2000 on the configured drive, but the system still won't boot from the HD. I continue to get the F1/F10 prompt. I have created and recreated the arrays, and installed and de-installed another OS (Linux 7.) all to no avail. The unit still expects to go to the floppy or the CD. Any ideas?
