I ran across another post online that gave me the idea of formatting using
Fat32 instead of NTFS. I did that and no longer get the error.
Thanks. Further comments are still welcome!

The LC3 had a HW error that caused this. I think which slot the video card
was in. I'll ask around and see if I can find out the details. This didn't
happen on NT4, only 2k (and maybe 3K),

Subject: [windows2000] A disk read error occurred
I'm am trying to restore a single Exchange mailbox by restoring the entire
Exchange database from a backup tape to an old server and then transferring the
data for the mailbox I want via a .pst file (according to the steps outlined in
Microsoft KB813337).
The first thing I tried to do was install Windows Small Business Server 2000
on the old server because it needs to be the same as the current Exchange
server. So I booted the old server with the SBS2000 CD, deleted the partitions
(they were too small), created 1 new larger partition, and tried to continue
setup. It copied all the files over to the hard drive and then automatically
rebooted.
On the reboot, when it tries to boot from the hard drive, I get the following
error:
A Disk Read Error Occurred
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to Restart
This is on an HP NetServer LC3. I have tried reformatting again, clearing
the cmos via a switch on the motherboard, etc., but with no luck. I can boot
from the cd and get into recovery console where I can access the C:\ drive and
all the install files seem to be copied there just fine.
I googled for that error and came up with ideas like clearing cmos, loose
cables, format from inside the recovery console (I tried this with the command
"format c:" -- is there a better way), flashing the bios (whatever that means),
etc. None of them seemed to help.
The server had been sitting around for a while (about 1 year), but I booted
it up and everything worked fine before I tried to reformat and install
SBS2000). SBS 4.5 was installed (NT Server). So I seriously doubt it is loose
cable, a bad hard drive, or anything like that.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Toby
