Trying to install 2000.4.4 on a HP DL380 G5. I keep getting the error:
Drive Count Fatal Error
The installation was unable to retrieve needed drive information
Error Code:1
The server is brand new out of the box from HP and has the required 4 72 GB hard drives. Tried another new G5 and am getting the same error. Wondering if I have to do something with the arrays but not sure what.

Are you using the discs that came with the CM discs ? What kit did you order for the CM server ? Is this an MCS server or HP OEM ?

Using disks that came with my CER 1.3 purchase. Using DVD:
7845-1/H2 Disk 2, from disk2.png file
Win 2000 Adv Svr
80-8649-01(DVD)
OS 2000.4.4
Installation and Recovery

Also this is an HP OEM.

This is possibly the reason. Wrong disc set.

Any idea what the right disk set would be?
This package came with disks for
7845-h1/h2
7825-h1/h2
7835-h1/h2
MCS-78xx/I1/I2 IBM Server
Of course no mention of HP
Interesting, when I ran the 7825-h1/h2 7835-h1/h2 disk it asked for the 7845-h1/h2 disk.

Using the SmartStart CD that came with your OEM HP server, perform a System Erase first.

Hello,
Did you manage to install the OS? I have a similar issue with IBM server. Any solution?
Regards,
