Adding hd space to a PL3000?
Hi all,
I am trying to set up an addon pci ide card in a proliant 3000. If I install it with a couple of 250G ide drives and leave the scsi drives unplugged during install, then it only boots to the card. If I leave out the pci ide card and plug in the scsi drives and install to them, then the replug in the pci ide card it still wants to boot to the card and not the scsi's. The scsi's are only 9.1G'ers(6). I would like to install Windows 2000 Server on the first scsi, then format the other 5 drives, then add the pci ide card with the 2) 250G ide's on it for a file server. I have tried to change the boot list with the utilities but it doesn't include pci cards, only floppy, cdrom, and scsi's. How can I add the pci ide card after an install and NOT boot to it? thanks, charles..... |

If I install it with a couple of 250G ide drives and leave the scsi drives unplugged during install, then it only boots to the card. That's a good result. If you can get it to run on IDE drives, leave it at that. Leave the SCSI stuff out. |
