The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Microsoft, Windows, 2008 Server

Hi.  We have an HP DL 360 G5 that we're trying to install Windows 2008 Server Std x64 without Hyper-V on.  We're using the HP SmartStart CD (tried both versions 8.00 and 8.10) to install Windows.  We choose DVD media and flat file.  When we browse for the Media Source we choose /mount/dvd.  After his we get an error:

Invalid Entry :/mount/dvd

and cannot continue the install

Our source for the DVD is from a MS download of the file, specifically:

SW_DVD5_Windows_Svr_DC_Ent_Std_W_O_Hyper-V_2008_English_x64_MLF_X14-27010.ISO

When we try it with media supplied from MS (it has Hyper-V) it works.  We do not have media from MS that doesn't have Hyper-V.

Can anyone help?
