• Windows Server 2003 on the HARD IDE in Mode ATAPI drive?

  Hello!
  My problem is that I want to know if a HDD IDE will run in Mode ATAPI.

  More details >

  There is a motherboard of INTEL S5000 VSA server in the office. He already had Win 2003 and everything was fine until the HARD drive crashed and the people replaced by an a SCSI maintenance (I don't know if he had a SATA, SCSI or an IDE HDD previously). After installing new HARD drive, they were not able to install Win server 2003 and went for 2008. Windows Server 2008 creates problems for us and the maintenance people are also confused and unresponsive to the situation.

  We have Windows Server 2003 R2. The motherboard has only one IDE port but scored the "working mode" as ATAPI. I was wondering if I could just attach an IDE HDD and install Win Server 2003 R2 (since win 2003 supports SATA out-of-the-box)

  (Displayed in the section of WIN XP as Win 2003 sharing the same base with XP, XP users can comment too)

  If a geek myself, I'm not very educated when it comes to servers. a Google search also did not help. I would be grateful if someone can help out me.

  Thank you

  Yes it will install and work fine on an IDE hard drive, ATAPI devices are all IDE drives.  The downside is that the reader will be much slower than the SCSI on a busy server, which can be a big disadvantage.

  For all its value that they probably could not install Server 2003 on the SCSI disk because they weren't using the method of F6 to provide drivers SCSI on a diskette or that they could not understand or how their wake worth installation CD.  There is no need of such a monumental lapse, notwithstanding the limitation INT-13 NT4 Server installed on SCSI and Server 2003 installs on SCSI providing that you give appropriate when installing drivers.

• Need driver Audio for Windows server 2003 for the INSPIRON 1545 laptop

  Hi all

  I need Audio and video drivers for my new laptop computer Inspiron 1545 laptop. It now supports drivers for Vista, XP and Windows 7 only.

  I installed Windows server 2003 to install SAP. But I am unable to get the sound.and not able to install video and audio drivers.

  Please help me how to get these drivers.

  Thanks in advance,

  Delphine.

  Delphine,

  This is how it was done before Vista. There could be a better way now.

  1 enable the Windows Audio Service. (This should already be activated in 2003 Standard Edition). For other versions:

  Go to start/run and type "services.msc" and press the 'Enter' key (or click on 'ok'). The Services window appears. Scroll down the page until you find "Windows Audio" to the bottom of the list. Double-click on it and change the type of startup to automatic, and then click Start, apply, then OK.

  2. download and install the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 KB901105 update from this page of Microsoft:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=901105

  3. restart.

  4 install the audio driver for Windows XP. If you have trouble to install it using Windows XP compatibility mode.

  5. set the hardware acceleration DirectX:

  Click Start/run and type "dxdiag" and press the 'Enter' key (or click on 'ok'). Go to the Audio tab and move the slider to 'Level of hardware acceleration Sound' at full speed.

  (Thanks to kovacsAtTiLa of a site called west - wind.com.) He posted critical information, the link to the patch from Microsoft).

• Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

  People,

  Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

  People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

  Thanks in advance.

  As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

  And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

  VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible must be installed to PeopleSoft PIA, I need to install VMware Server 2, and then install Windows Server 2003, which is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
  
  But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, Win2K3 screen is very small, and its size is of about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. It is not comfortable to work for a long time.

  Did you already installed the VMWare tools in your guest OS in VMWare? In general, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.

• Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003

  Hello

  Can you please let me know the end of support for Windows Server 2003?

  I manage and application that is currently running on Windows Server 2003 and will soon migrate to Windows Server 2012 but the exact date is not decided, as a lot of analysis should be done prior to the actual migration.

  Please let me know when Microsoft end this support for their Windows Server 2003 so that I can work on that accordingly.

  That would be really helpful. Any announcement already made by Microsoft on this? I found a few things online stating it would be 2015, but nothing seems to have come directly from Microsoft.

  Thank you in advance for the information.

• Want to downgrade to genuine Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Server 2003 on my HP Pavilion DV4t-1600

  Hello

  IM struggling to downgrade my factory installed windows 7 to windows server 2003 on my HP Pavilion DV4t-1600

  Pls help me to do that and also provide me with changes to the BIOS (if any)

  Hi Virginia,

  If you have the full support for Windows Server 2003 (not an upgrade), your only option is to install clean (full). You can not downgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Server 2003. You must do a clean install. Back up your important files, start the Windows Server 2003 DVD and proceed with the installation as usual.

  Don't forget to mark this reply as useful if it helped you, and let me know what happens.

• Satellite A200-1BJ: Windows Server 2003 need display driver

I could not the device driver compatible for Windows Server 2003. According to the ATI support staff, I need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop is Toshiba himself.

  Hello

  Are you looking for the drivers for Windows Server 2003?
  Well, I think you will find all the drivers Win Server 2003 because this drivers don t exist.

  Win Server 2003 operating system was designed based on windows XP.
  So usually the drivers Win XP should work!

  Furthermore, as you are probably aware that the Win Server 2003 operating system is not supported by Toshiba you need to search on sites of third 3rd ATI graphic driver.

  Maybe a site www.omegadrivers.net might help you.

  But note; 3 third party drivers can be installed ONLY at your own RISK! Why?
  Because these drivers have not been tested and so no one can tell if the laptop will run stable and will work properly after installing these drivers.

• 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.
