Installation Methods
There are several ways of installing Windows 2000. The most popular methods are listed
below. Select a method and go to the appropriate section of this guide to begin.
Depending upon your system and its configuration, it may also be necessary to create a
drivers diskette.
1. Automatic Installation – boot from the HP Navigator CD and run the Configure the
Server utility.

2. Manual Installation – do the following:
· Create the HP NetServer Windows 2000 drivers diskettes using the HP
NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
· Select one of the following methods for installation:
- Create Windows 2000 Setup diskettes. Use those diskettes to begin the
installation. Insert and use the Windows 2000 CD when prompted. You may
need to use this method if you have an HP NetServer LX Pro (see
troubleshooting tip 5, later in this document).
Or
- Boot directly from the Windows 2000 CD to begin the installation.
(Supported on all HP NetServer systems except the LX Pro–see
troubleshooting tip 5, later in this document).
Automatic Installation – Using the HP Navigator CD
HP recommends that you follow this method to install Windows 2000. This is the easiest
method because it requires less user intervention. Following are the steps to complete the
installation of Windows 2000 using the HP Navigator CD.
1. Boot the system from the HP Navigator CD.
2. Select "Configure the Server" from the Navigator main menu.
3. At the next screen, select "Guided Setup".
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Manual Installation
Creating the Drivers Diskette
Before you begin, use one of the following two methods that can be used to create the
drivers diskette. One method is to create the drivers diskette using a system booted from
the Navigator CD. The other method is to create the drivers diskette using a system that
is running Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows 95/98.
Creating the Drivers Diskette at the server after booting from the Navigator CD
1. Boot the system from the Navigator CD.
2. Select “Diskette Library” from the Navigator main menu and follow the on-screen
instructions to create the desired diskette(s).

Create the Drivers Diskette using a system running Windows NT, Windows 2000, or
Windows 95/98
1. Insert the Navigator CD in the CD-ROM drive on the Windows-based system.
NOTE: The system’s monitor must be set for at least 800 x 600 resolution.
2. Your system should auto-detect the presence of the CD and start the Navigator
process. If your system does not auto-start the Navigator process, start it by
executing LAUNCH32.EXE which can be found at the root level of the Navigator
CD.
3. Once the Navigator process has started, select the target HP NetServer system from
the drop-down menu and select “Continue”.
4. From the “NetServer Navigator Select a NOS” screen, select the operating system
that you will be installing. Then, select “Continue”.
5. At the “NetServer Navigator Main Menu” screen, select “Diskette Library”.
6. From the “Diskette Title” window, select the diskette that you want to create and then
select “Create Diskette(s)”. Follow the on-screen instructions to create the desired
diskette(s).
Selecting the Manual Installation Method
Before using this method of installation, decide whether you want to install Windows
2000 using Setup Diskettes, or by booting directly from the Windows 2000 CD.
· If you wish to create Setup Diskettes (perhaps because you have other systems that do
not support booting from CD), proceed to the following section "Creating Setup
Diskettes."
· If you want to start the setup by booting directly off the Windows 2000 CD
(supported for all NetServers), proceed to the following section "Installing Windows
2000."
Creating Setup Diskettes
If you opt for starting the Windows 2000 installation from Setup Diskettes, do the
following:
1. You need four blank, formatted diskettes. Label them as listed below:
Windows 2000 Setup Boot.
Windows 2000 Setup Disk #2.
Windows 2000 Setup Disk #3.
Windows 2000 Setup Disk#4

2. Place the Windows 2000 CD on a system running Windows NT or Windows 95.
3. Open a command prompt and change to the d:\bootdisk directory (assuming that D: is
your CD-ROM drive).
4. At the command prompt type:
makebt a: (If using a DOS or Win 9X system)
makebt32 a: (If using an NT system)
5. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the utility.
Starting the Installation Windows 2000 Using Setup Diskettes
1. Boot from the "Windows 2000 Setup Boot" diskette. Follow instructions displayed,
replacing diskettes as necessary.
2. When prompted for the Windows 2000 CD-ROM, place the CD in the drive and then
proceed to Step 2 in the next section "Installing Windows 2000" to continue the
installation.
Special Instructions for Installing Windows 2000 on HP NetServer LH
6000 or LT 6000r Systems
