i am trying to install SBS 2000 Cals on a new intel server, specifically
with
an intel S5000psl Motherboard. This board does not have an on board floppy
controller. I have used a usb floppy to do the initial SAS drivers in the
beginning of the SBS 2000 install. I am now tring to install the SBS CALs,
but when i do, i get the following error:
This disk may be damaged, write protected, or an illegal copy. The write
protect tab must be in the writeable position. This error message will
occur if this is a copy and not the original disk. This disk cannot be
used on a LS-120 drive.

Can any one help please, and no i will not go to 2003, because of the
applications needing to run on this server. (they dont runn on 2003 yet).

Regards,
PCSWA.
