Re: Server 2008 Installing issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Have you tried requesting MS to re-send you a new DVD?

Alternatively you can download it from:

You meant running Setup.exe from inside Server 2003? And which part failed?

I'm not an action pack subscriber, but I got the Beta 3 CD through TechNet
Mag, and it boots fine. Can you double check that you have a DVD instead of
CD (stupid suggestion: but I actually put the DVD into a CD-ROM wanting it
to boot and just found out that I am not using a DVD)
