Hello,
is possible to install W2K3 Server to external hard disk connected
via USB ? My PC server Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo P5905 (without
internal HDD), BIOS with support boot from USB devices.
DOS portion setup is OK, after reboot is show logo Windows 2003
Server and after 5 second is blue screen wrote Inaccesible boot
device error 0x0000007B

Thanks,
Ladislav

No.
What's your goal?


Why no ? Why setup is corectly started, dos portion setup is OK and after this system crash ?

My goal is prepare test environment.

The reason is at this point in the install W2003 does not have a driver to boot off a USB hard drive. In order to make this work you need to find a USB hard drive driver suitable for the W2003 setup, and you will need to reinstall and use the 'F6' option to load the driver.
