I have just started to rebuild one of our 2550's . I have gone through the routine using the dell assistant manger boot cdrom then following the prompts installing windows server 2000. It goes through all the install as per normal but when it converts the fat partition to NTFS it then gets caught in a loop, It says it has scheduled a scandisk and then goes through until the end of the scandisk and then restarts for no reason.

Its using bios rev A08

Embedded server management Firmware 5.50

Primary system backplane controller Firmware 1.30

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
