hey all,
I am in the process of instaling windows 2000 server on a sunpci II blade, in an UltraSparc 5. I have successfully installed the blade, and its software, DOS is up and running.

I have inserted the win2k server OEM cd. and using the command from the c: prompt:

C:\>f:\drivers\win2k\setupw2k

this threw up:
Unable to determine NT version on CD
I386 should be in the path r:\cdrom\cdrom0\i386
Error: Invalid Windows CD mounted
Error: process_dosnet failure

so then i tried:

C:\>f:\drivers\win2k\setupw2k /s:r:\cdrom\cdrom0\i386

and i get the same error

any ideas what im doin wrong here??

thanks a lot josh.

Perhaps the problem is you install from an OEM CD and not a retail (I'm not sure they are different though).

Is the cd properly mounted on Solaris ?

Is /cdrom/cdrom0/i386 accessible from Solaris ?

yes the cd is mounted in /cdrom/cdrom0/ and i cann see the contents of the i386 directory. I tried copying the entire i386 folder to hard disk and use that, but no good, the same error.

Do you really think the OEM disk could not work???

thanks!

This is a possibibility ...
