Titolo: Windows 2000 server, SCSI-disk installation error!

The Windows 2000 server cd is inserted in the cd-rom (IDE) and after I boot up
my comupter for clean installation, I get the following error :
----
Disk I/O : Error : Status = 0000BB01
Failed to Archread the bootpartition to check for signature
----
This error appears before the setup is inspecting the computers hardware, and I
am not able to install Windows 2000 server.
My hardware:
Controller: LSI-Logic 21040
SCSI disk:  IBM Ultrastar 36LZX 36.7 GB 80pins w/80 to 68 pin LVD-compatible
adapter
NOTE: The SCSI harddrive communicates 100% with the LSI controller BIOS.

after iniziate setup the system ask you if you have a drv to instal for
other hardware
when ask that press F6
mamma mia il mio inglese fà proprio schifo ;))

 when ask that press F6
Solitamente quando non installi i drivers con l' F6 win da errore tipo "non
trovo nessun disco utilizzabile".
Ho l'impressione che il disco che sta usando il nostro inglesino abbia la
tabella delle partizioni *un pelino* alle cozze.
Oppure quel controller fa a pungi con il disco, che č probabilmente nuovo
visto che disco č...
Io proverei a formattarlo a basso livello se il controller ha l'opzione nel
suo bios.....
[english]
Is your disk new? Have you ever installed anything on that disk? It could be
a problem of partitions table....
Try a low-format of the disk. Your controller should have this option in the
bios.
If it doesn't work, try with another controller if you can...

...nah, alcuni controller fanno cosě... io ho avuto lo stesso problema
installando da cdscsi su un hd eide usando un controller 2940u2w... mi dava
lo stesso errore. Poi ho messo i driver prima dell'installazione premendo
F6, ed č andato tutto OK. Succede la stessa cosa se ad esempio l'hd eide č
connesso a una scheda controller Eide separata (per ovvi motivi...).

...it's ok. I had the same problem while installing from a scsi cdrom onto
an eide HD using a 2940u2w scsi controller, it used to give me the same
error. So I discovered the F6 key, installed the drivers before starting win
installation, and everything worked fine. The same thing happen if you try
to install windows on a eide hd connected with a pci eide controller ( and
it's pretty obvious that the system cannot find the hd :) )

bye

 it's pretty obvious that the system cannot find the hd :) )
This is something that I already is aware of.
1. The harddrive was low-level formatted via BIOS.
2. During startup of the Windows installation,I pressed the F6 button, 
and installed the LSI logic SCSI driver disk.
3. I still get the error message !
Please help !

 Please help !
Did you say "D'oh!"? :-PP
So, try installing another OS, like win ME or 98, just to see if disk and
controller are ok or not.
If this works, i would search for newer drivers for the scsi card.
If this does not work..... try with another disk, or another card.
Puff puff.. che fatica l'inglese da arrugginiti :)
