Chapter 3 Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000 The cause of this problem is that the NTLOADER is encountering a duplicate hard drive signature. This signature is calculated by the NTLOADER code after reading a specific sector offset from the hard drive. The following list provides some of the things that can cause hard drive to have duplicate signatures: 1. Low-level formatting the drives. We reproduced this on several systems at HP. 2. When you have a set of drives previously used with a DAC and move them to a SCSI adapter. 3. Using a disk imaging utility to duplicate a hard drive will create a duplicate signature. At this time, Microsoft has no fix for this problem. For more information please refer to Microsoft document ID: Q226361. HP recommends that you use the following workaround for this problem. 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. 29
