It’s the difference between a quick and a full format, isn’t it? Regards,

Well finally got it built, I took care of it with a new Smart Start CD. Now I am enduring formatting a 600GB LUN that is 2% done and its been 1+ hr’s. It seems like all the Windows 2008 boxes we build take forever to format the disk ( either done vis Disk_part or the format command). In Windows 2003 R2 it been done already. Have others also seen the format times for disks inside a Windows 2008 box take an hideously long time. ( Like 600GB and probably will take 3hrs to format?) Z Edward E.

Try a new SmartStart CD. Seriously. I had similar issues with up to 8.3, I think, when trying to install on a BL460c. A more current one will likely solve the problem. The link below is for the 8.60 32 bit CD. I dug it up by searching for DL380 G5. The latest one that would show for a G3 is 8.25. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=1121516&prodNameId=3288134&swEnvOID=4022&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-00b1501bdf9a4ddda9353d075e On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 10:25 AM, Ziots, Edward <ezi...@lifespan.org<mailto:ezi...@lifespan.org>> wrote: Need to bounce this one off the list. I have a DL380G3 that I am trying to load Windows 2008 Standard for a new file server, I have already tried Smart Start CD 8.00, 8.15 and 8.25. I also have tried 2 boot DVD's ( If I put the Windows 2008 DVD in the DVD ROM and boot the server it starts to load windows) but through the Smart Start CD, when it is asking for either flat-files or CD-Image to load the OS from, I pick flat files and it prompts me for where on the DVD the source OS's are. I pick DVD folder then the sources folder within that folder, and click on show sub-directories, and sure enough on 2 DVD's it can't find it. I know the darn DVD's are good because I can get Windows to load from the freaking DVD. Any idea, what I might be doing wrong with the load of the Windows 2008 through the Smart start process which is what I would like to accomplish. Either that, or its back to Windows 2003 R2 Sp2 which I would like to start getting away from but at least I will have a built server I will have space on for information that needs to get migrated off older systems Edward E.
