Errors when using the SS5.5 CD with Compaq 1850R Server
Hello everyone again. I had a thread back in March regarding my trials
and tribulations with this server. I have found a bit more time to play with this project and wanted to continue where I left off. I have used the SS cd's to create a floppy with the Compaq System Erase Utility 1.69A and ran that without a problem. However, when I power cycle the PC as instructed by the application and the Smart Start CD loads I get the following message: message1 An unrecoverable error has occured while running SmartStart Error Code:24 The system erase utility must be run to prepare the system to run SmartStart again. Press any key to start the System Erase Utility. /message1 Then once I have pressed a key I get this message: message2 SPAWN ERROR: Exec format error running sserase.exe A fatal error occured while trying to run the system erase utility. ERROR CODE: 70 Press any key to restart SmartStart /message2 And so it goes for forever. Does anyone have any ideas? Help and assistance is appreciated. Krubb |

you have a bad burn. Burn the iso again at the slowest possible speed your
burner will support, and try again. - LC "krubb" wrote in message ups.com... Hello everyone again. I had a thread back in March regarding my trials and tribulations with this server.

Errors when using the SS5.5 CD with Compaq 1850R Server
Thank you Mr. Nut Cracker! All of the issues I had been having with this server over the last 3-4 months all boiled down to having a bad burned copy of the SmartStart cd. Amazing. Well, I am glad to finally say that the server is up and running with a copy of Windows 2003 Server. Since I was able to canabalize an identical server for parts I am running with dual PII 450 MHz cpu's, 3- 9.1 SCSI HDD in a RAID 5 config. Not sure what I am going to do with it now but the point of this entire project was to basically get a sandbox to play in. Thanks for the help!! Krubb glad to help |

Not sure what I am going to do with it now but the point of this entire project was to basically get a sandbox to play in. Thanks for the help!! Krubb I had a trusty burn which i created from a Compaq issued 5.50 cd, which I had dubbed "old reliable" . I got a new DL360 G1 and the thing wouldnt work with it. Basically, it was doing the same kind of thing you were reporting. I tried everything, and since i had done dozens of setups with old reliable, i didnt think to querstion it. On a whim, i burned another CD from the ISO i had ripped off the original, and life was good. There seems to be an issue with the ISO that is available from the HP site. I have seen dozens of complaints that the CD's arent bootable, and it comes down to burning the CD at ths slowest possible speed to get the thing to work. I dont know why, but thats just how it is. Maybe there are only some burners that can do it at full speed, and all the rest have to burn at 2x .... i really dont know. But, im glad your box is up and running. Have fun with it. - LC |

I wonder if that's not an issue with the CD ROM drives being fairly old to start with. I remember seeing some SmartStart CDs in Europe that would not work at all until Compaq released a firmware update for the CD ROM drives. Somewhere about SmartStart 4.70 |
