new PowerEdge: windows server 2003 standard r2 install problem

Hi all

so I started with this procedure

  1. Insert the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility CD or the Dell and Documentation DVD systems management tools in the CD player.
  2. Reboot your system and boot from the CD/DVD.
  3. Select Dell Systems Build and Update Utility to go to the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility Home screen.
  4. Click the server operating system Installation.
  5. Follow the instructions step by step to set up your hardware and to install your operating system.

Now in the select list of Os, I chose windows server 2003 sp2. When I come to the part where it asks for my o/s drives, I get a "invalid" drive, and my windows install dvd is ejected.

I use our msdn 2939.3 disc titled "Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition with Service Pack 2.

I tried our other msdn discs, but they no longer work.

so I'm stuck.

All I need is to put in place the RAID-1 and windows server 2003.

Anyone who is willing to light on that?

    I don't want the drivers.  I mean the software.  The drivers you get from the page server 2003 and the software from the page I referenced.   Otherwise, you need to contact HP, as they provide that software, not Microsoft.

    Hello

    I think Toshiba does not support drivers for Windows Server 2003 for all laptops!

    So the only thing you could do is to try the drivers XP (utility chipset) or search the net en some drivers available!

  • Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64. w2k3sp2_3959_usa_x64fre_spcd. ISO

    I was given a few HP servers with product keys, but no installation disc. Being quite familiar with the isos, I thought I can find isos and give these babies a new installation. I don't need new operating systems because they will be behind a good firewall. Getting to the point. I found that Microsoft is kind enough to provide software. Much to my dismay, the iso that Microsoft has provided cannot be transformed into a bootable media either a DVD or USB. I tried everything from 7zip usb Microsofts tool. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Tecra A10 - 12O: installing the driver network card in Windows Server 2003 R2 Std

    Hello

    I received 6 laptop Tecra A10 - 12O, and we need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 in all these six machines. Windows Server 2003 has been installed perfectly, but now we have only the network LAN card to work but we are unable to install its driver. When I installed Windows XP from the supplied DVD for Toshiba, it says Intel 82567V Gigabit network adapter. I tried to download the drivers for this adatpor of drivers Toshiba, Intel Web site, but it will not install in Windows Server 2003. I also tried manually force to choose and install a driver from the list, I choose that it will install but shows yellow question mark in Device Manager means that it does not work with this driver.

    I also tried the same Intel 82567V drivers from some sites non-Toshiba, of these models using the same network card, but is not truck drivers at all.

    I understand these laptop computers does not support Windows Server 2003, but these were ordered to be used as servers with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and I am required to make the Installer only with activated and installed network adapter.

    I try last week and exhausted all means to get the installed network adapter driver, but all have failed. Can someone please help with this? All support will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy

    If I m not wrong Windows Server 2003 uses the same drivers as Win XP and I guess that it s driver problem not a LAN, but perhaps also the problem of Windows Server 2003 installed.

    You are right; the LAN chip seems to be Intel 82567V and the LAN driver downloaded from Intel page should work 100%.

    In your case, I would recommend installing the chipset driver.
    Remove the LAN card from Device Manager, then restart the laptop.
    Then go back to Device Manager and update driver in pointing devices Manager to the place where the driver downloaded LAN was stored on the HARD drive.

  • What product Vmware is the best for several Windows Server 2003 and 2008 implementation

    Hi all

    I am just wondering that if I installed VMware on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprize edition on VMware I was able to use more Ram installed, our server have 48GB of Ram but Server 2003 Standard allows only 4 GB max to use, to save money, I was wondering just if I can use the way I mentioned above.

    Looking at it, I think you have a misconception about the limitations of VMware, RAM and operating system. Your problem is that you see no more than 4 GB of RAM on your x 86 Server 2003 install? This is a limitation of the operating system - to use more RAM you need an operating system that can deal with the RAM.

    • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 86 edition then you will only be able to use the 4 GB of RAM, Windows Server 2003 Standard x 32 can process.

    • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 64 edition then you will be able to use the 32 GB of RAM that Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64 can process.

    • If you install VMware ESX, you can adjust your full 48GB of RAM and install multiple instances of Win 2003 Svr Standard, each of which can address 4 GB of your memory live available.

  • Windows Server 2003 SP2, not bootable iso

    The downloaded ISO file of TECHNET is not bootable, how can I make bootable so that I can create a virtual machine from him.  Pleae be explicit as to how I can make the ISO bootable, or, how I can use the ISO file to create a virtual withput machine it is bootable.

    I just took a glance on the MSDN web site. FFL you downloaded is "Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (x 86) - CD (English)" that contains only the updated SP2 files. What you should look for is a file named for example en_windows_server_2003_with_sp1_standard.iso 'Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with SP1 (English)'.
