Re: Windows Server 2003 Boot Problem

Hello Brian,

Do you have just the 2 .iso files on the disk or did you burn the image with an image burner, so that you have a complete folder structure on the disk?

Best regards

I have an old Win2K Advanced Server that I'd possibly like to upgrade
to Windows Server 2003. I got the trial version from Microsoft and
burned the 2 ISO images to CDs. The CD isn't bootable, though. It
definitely has a boot sector on it, but just boots right into
Server2K. The CD light blinks for a second on bootup and then moves
right on. If I put the Server2K CD in, it will boot into that install
fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian Mosher
