Chapter 4 Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000
2. Verify that no devices have either a yellow band (!) or question mark (?)
symbol next to it.
o Yellow (!) means that there is a resource issue with the device.
o 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 HP NetRAID-1M) 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 make sure that there are no errors in the log.
Click on Start | Programs | Administrative tools | Event viewer.
NOTE Windows 2000 Event Viewer may have recorded network
errors because your network is not configured yet. Please
discard these errors.
6. Exit event viewer.

3. Select available hard disk space on the graphic and use menus to create
additional partitions.
4. Exit the Disk Administrator.
5. To complete formatting of new partitions, open My Computer, then right
click on the new unformatted partition(s) and select format.
