How do I make a new Dell OpenManager Server Assistant CD for NT4 and a PE2400?
I've inherited a PE2400 and need to install NT4.
A straight NT install ends in a blue screen of death. Dell says to us the Server Assistant CD, which of course I don't have.
Issue 1: Dell says to use DOSA version 5.0+. All I've been able to find is version 4.5.
Issue 2: How do I make a new DOSA CD?
2 Days on this on so far....#$^#%&^ Thanks

un fortunatly you cant make a dosa cd, the only ways to get tham are when they shipped with the system and if you get an openmanage subscription, abd as leew said it not required does make install a little easier, what error are you getting on the blue screen it may be pointing to a hardware issue or other issue.
new DOSA CDs probably won't support NT4 anyway
You may need the correct driver for your HD Controller, When beginning your NT installation you'll be asked for third party Disk Controller Drivers. Here you need to press F6, then insert your floppy with the controllers Driver. With some luck you may now get beyond the point where your previous installation didn't succeed before.
