How to install windows server 2003 in virtual pc

Does it recognize the hard drives? Regards, Dave Patrick Then later you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows driver for your drive controller in drive "A" Read the license agreement, and then press the F8 key to accept the terms of the license agreement and continue the installation. Just tried booting with F6 and made sure that the CD drive was prioritized and again it skipped right over it and opened up windows 7. The installation starts from disk 1. If disk 1 is not readable then that's your problem.

F6 will do no good if text mode portion of setup does not start. Wednesday, July 6, AM. I will test the CD tomorrow on a different computer and see.

I don't know how to verify that the keyboard is working but i assume it is because i have the option to press f12 to load the boot priority menu and the BIOS.

So I have now tried Disc 1 on three different computers. All three failed to recognize there was a disc in the drive and gave me the "Please insert disc into drive" Error after trying to load the Disc.

I guess the question i have to work on now is how i get malfunctioning software replaced. It was purchased through amazon. Wednesday, July 6, PM. Contact Microsoft for replacement media. This one may help. Thursday, July 7, AM. So I received the new software now I am having other issues. I clean boot the software from the CD and it starts up normally then about 5 min. I doubt that i have a virus on the computer i have done very minimal work on the internet and the only software that this computer has been exposed to is the Server If anyone has any ideas of how to trouble shoot now that would be great.

It seems very odd that i would get this error trying to boot from a new software on the computer. I tried reinstalling, and it got to near the end of installation and said "Access is Denied". What else could i be missing here? This was a fresh installation of Win server 2k3 with no other installations at the moment. The only thing i did was add it to our domain. I've tried the installation under Domain Admin and Local Admin.

What could still be causing this to fail? After doing a fresh install of the OS, SP2 loaded with no problems. Sorry for the troubles, thanks for the help! Just a note - and something I kind of live by. When I load an os, and then update it, then load the software - if there are any OS or application issues like that I typically just reload it because who knows what unforeseen issues may lay ahead in the future.

Or does anyone have any ideas? The reason I am playing around with this is that I plan on configuring this Virtual Server to a domain controller on a made up network to get some Active Directory experiece.
