SYMPTOMS

If you try to install the SMARTDrive disk-caching utility that comes with Microsoft Windows on a machine with no local hard drive, you may receive the following message when you boot your computer:

No hard drives on system


CAUSE

Setting up SMARTDrive on a diskless workstation on a network is a typical configuration that could cause this problem. Since the network software is not loaded until after you've booted up, SMARTDrive does not see any hard drives. As a result, it returns the error message.
