My computer is a “Packard Bell IMEDIA X7600 GE”,
the installation process recognized the drivers as correct, but refuses them afterwards.
The harddisks are “WDC WD10 EAVS-00D7B1 SCSI Disk Device”.
I used drivers in Vista “NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller”.

Arris: I currently don’t have any clue to solve this problem. Maybe you can post this question at the Win2008Workstation Forums or the Microsoft Technet Forums to get a solution.

Arris: Try to activate it by phone. See this page for the list of phone numbers.

Great article. I’m not a Technet subscriber so I can’t post there but I can’t install Server 2008 x64. I get the following message;

Windows failed to start…

File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xc0000001
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.

I get this same message even when I install directly from the iso into a virtual machine or from a disk on to bare metal. I’ve also tried downloading the same file twice but get the same result each time.

Any ideas? I’d appreciate your input as I am frustratedly looking for a useable, stable work machine. Vista is too bloated for me and I’ve wasted 2 months on Linux. I did run Windows Server 2003 R2 as a workstation briefly in the past and that seemed perfect except it won’t run with my new hardware.

thanks in advance – and thanks for a helpful website

Arris: I believe everyone with a Windows Live ID can post messages at the Technet Forums. However, to fix your problem you might try the method described at the forum: dual boot with XP.

I have Win Server 2008 Enterprise running on my Dell Inspiron 6400.
There are a few driver issues, but apart from that, it’s great

Thanks for the guide

Arris: Good to hear that! Thanks for your comment.

I cannot install IIS because of this error.

but really, nice job on the whole thing

Arris: No problem! I understand! Thanks for the compliments and good luck tweaking your Server 2008.

if you need an online walk-through on how to install a windows os, then the one you install probably shouldn’t be windows server 08.

when i installed server08, i researched the default password policy requirements, pasted here (unfortunately i lost the bookmark for the quoted site, as i saved the quote as text, but i believe it was from thebackroomtech.com):

-Passwords cannot contain the user’s account name or parts of the user’s full name that exceed two consecutive characters.

-Passwords must be at least six characters in length.

-Passwords must contain characters from three of the following four categories:

-English uppercase characters (A through Z)
-English lowercase characters (a through z)
-Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
-Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %)
(end quote)

i took my standard password (7 lowercase letters, plus a numeral), and added ‘.’ (a period) at the end; made it still fairly natural to type, met the criteria, and it’s a small adjustment for me to make from what i’m used to typing. i only mention this because if you guys are talking about this stuff, you’re probably the kind of user who tends to type passwords from muscle memory, and hate having to change your pattern, me too, makes me furious.

and don’t get me wrong, these are very clear and well written instructions (so good job, and kudos on that), but i just think it’s ironic that such a basic topic for a walk-through as installing an os, is required for the most advanced windows os available.

You then go to “Initial Configuration Tasks” (set time / date, time zone, computer name, etc.). Here you can also check a box not to show this dialog window at start-up.

Overall, these notes (and the rest of your instructions) are VERY good

a Hardware error.

and then i need to put in a installation disk. but that disk is mounted,
its coming back all the time

Arris: I think you ‘d better ask this question in the Windows Server 2008 Section at the Microsoft Technet Forums. There are lots of geeks there that can help you!
