Phase 3 – Installing Window s 2000 Recovery Console
Please refer to Tip#4 in the Troubleshooting section.
Section 4. Configuring the System
Phase 1 – Performi ng Hardware Status Check
In this section you will run Windows 2000 Device Manager tool to identify any
issues with the installed devices or resource conflicts.
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device
Manager.
2. Verify that no devices have either a yellow band (!) or question mark (?) symbol
next to it.
— Yellow (!) means that there is a resource issue with the device.
— Question (?) means that the device is unknown.
If (!) or (?) symbols are reported then double click on each of the devices with (!)
or (?). Use the Device Status message for troubleshooting. Or, if a printer is
available, use the
View, Print from the menu to get a report.
3. Verify if the installed drivers are digitally signed.
a. In the Device Manager, select the device (e.g. Adaptec AIC-7902 based Ultra
320 SCSI) that you want to verify.
b. Right click Properties > Driver.
c. Locate the Digital Signer:. If the driver of that device is digitally signed then
it will display MS Windows 2000 Publisher or Microsoft Windows
Hardware Compatibility Publisher. If the driver of the device is not
digitally signed, we recommend that you check the HP Website
www.hp.com
to install the latest driver package.
4. Exit the Device Manager, System Properties and Control Panel applications.
5. Check the event viewer to be sure that there are no errors in the log. Click Start
