Pre Installed Sap
Help booting pre-installed Windows 2003 Server HDD on a differnt PC?
Hi,
I bought SAP ECC6.0 pre-installed on a 320GB HDD on Windows2003 Server. But when I tried to instal the hard disk on my PC, the computer gets restarted while loading windows all the time. It starts loading Windows2003 and gives a blue screen for less than 1 second and restarts. I am not able to load windows on the PC at all. My friend said that it could be because the HDD was installed on a different motherboard while loading Windows2003 Server and it is not compatible with my motherboard. He suggested me to insert a Windows2003 Server CD and boot the computer and press "R" to repair it. However, he said that even after this there is no assurance that the applications installed will be working properly.
Please let me know a possible solution. I have a HP Pavillion m8095a PC with 2GB RAM and 2.4GHz processor.
Thanks,
Zubair
The 2003 OS is locked to the HAL on the original hardware, what the guy told you regarding repair install is partly true, the key thing to this is your chipset and your IDE/RAID drivers, if the two hardware are similar or identical, you will have a much better chance, but as from your experience so far, they are not.
What I normally do is to strip out the original drivers before moving the drive/OS out, but as you dont have much to lose, you might as well do a repair install and see how lucky you are.
