I dont have SBS 2003 SP1 installed yet (its step 5).

I have tried downlaoding the Windows 2003 sp1 file more than once. It
appears to extract ok, but cant find what it wants to run :(

Hi Jim,

Are you starting with SBS 2003 Standard or Premium?

If you have installed SBS 2003 SP1 before attempting to install Windows
2003
SP1, uninstall SBS 2003 SP1, reboot and then try installing WIndows 2003
SP1
again. If no go, try downloading, extracting and installing Windows 2003
SP1 again (your original download my have been corrupt).

Note that the link (the upgrade procedure) I gave you is actually 5 web
pages long, so make sure you read through the entire procedure and do the
downloads & follow the suggestions before you start the upgrade. Also,
make
sure that your server BIOS has been upgraded as recommended by the
manufacturer before you begin the upgrade.

Merv,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Your first link agrees that Windows Server 2003 Service Pacl 1 should
be
installed first. It says to run
WindowsServer2003-KB8890101-SP1x86-ENU.exe

This is what fails for me with the 'file not found message'

How would I find what file was being sought?

From your link it would appear that a setup wizard is being started.
Maybe
this is what is missing.

Any help appreciated

Thankx again

Jim
