Please help! I have an old (not that old) and I want to install windows server 2003 enterprise. I have MSDN pro and have all the DVDs necessary.
What I've tried so far is to install over XP pro (won't install), over 98se (won't install), made copies of the DISC1 and DISC2, copied to CD/DVD, booted from those but it says there are no system files on the CD/DVD. Also doesn't work from DOS mode. I realise that this must be a step above anything I've done so far, I mean I've formatted HDs before and installed many an OS, no problems, but this one has me perplexed? Do I use the ISOs (how?)

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Ok, forget it, got it at last ...

Used Nero to burn ISO to CD and booted from that, seems to be working ok.
