ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000
Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact
technical support for assistance. The following status codes
will assist them in diagnosing the problem. (0x4, 0x1, 0x0,
0x0)
The cause of this problem is that the NTLOADER is encountering a duplicate hard
drive signature. This signature is calculated by the NTLOADER code after reading a
specific sector offset from the hard drive. The following list provides some of the
things that can cause a hard drive to have duplicate signatures:
1. Low-level formatting the drives. We reproduced this on several systems at HP.
2. When you have a set of drives previously used with a DAC and move them to a
SCSI adapter.
3. Using a disk imaging utility to duplicate a hard drive will create a duplicate
signature.
At this time, Microsoft has no fix for this problem. For more information please refer
to Microsoft document ID: Q226361.
HP recommends that you use the following workaround for this problem.
1. If you experience this problem, remove all drives with the exception of the target
boot drive. Install Windows 2000 and then add the removed hard drives to the
system after installation of the OS.
2. Run the Disk Management tool to prepare the remainder of the drives to be used
in the system.
a. Boot the system with a Windows 98SE recovery diskette. (This version
supports FAT32, which works on larger hard drives.)
b. Perform an FDISK on each drive.
c. Install Windows 2000.
Tip #2. Configuring the Parallel (LPT) Port for ECP Mode
The device manager may not show this port on the list when not configured in ECP
mode.
