​​Introduction to HP_2003_1_3a-DVD.iso​​

This legacy recovery ISO provides full system restoration capabilities for HP ProLiant DL380/DL580 series servers running Windows Server 2003 R1 environments. Designed under DoD 5220.22-M data sanitization standards, it combines hardware diagnostics with pre-configured drivers for Compaq Smart Array 5300/6400 controllers and HP NC7770 Gigabit NICs. Originally released in Q3 2003, this media resolves critical boot sector corruption issues documented in HP Service Advisory HPSBUX0310-123.

The image supports bare-metal recovery scenarios involving RAID 5 array failures and MBR corruption, particularly valuable for organizations maintaining legacy ERP/SCADA systems requiring NTFS file system preservation. It includes localized language packs for 12 European languages compliant with EU Directive 1999/5/EC.
