Installation Guide

Chapter 4 Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000
1. If you experiences 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.
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 large hard drives.)
b. Perform an FDISK on each drive.
c. Install Windows 2000.
Tip #3. Configure the Parallel (LPT) Port for ECP Mode
The device manager may not show this port on the list when not configured in
ECP mode.
HP recommends that you systematically configure the LPT port for ECP mode.
Use the following procedure to change the setting:
1. Press F2 during power on self-test.
2. Select Advanced | I/O Device Configuration | Parallel Port | Mode.
3. Press Enter and select "ECP".
4. Press F10 and select yes to confirm to save and exit.
Tip #4. Windows 2000 Drivers Signatures
Windows 2000 checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system
integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching
signature file Windows 2000 displays a "Digital Signature not Found" box.
· To expedite release of new products, drivers may be shipped by HP without
signature files. All Windows 2000 drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are
submitted to Microsoft for certification testing . Upon completion of testing,
Microsoft produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package
at http://www.hp.com
.
· If a signature warning is displayed during installation of a driver, you may
override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the
latest driver package. If available, install the new driver.
· You can elect to have Windows 2000 ignore signatures: Open Start | Settings
| Control Panel | System | Hardware | Driver Signing. This is helpful if you
are setting up multiple systems.
