Windows Server 2003 Boot Problem

[Guest Brian Mosher]

I have an old Win2K Advanced Server that I'd possibly like to upgrade to

Windows Server 2003. I got the trial version from Microsoft and burned the 2

ISO images to CDs. The CD isn't bootable, though. It definitely has a boot

sector on it, but just boots right into Server2K. The CD light blinks for a

second on bootup and then moves right on. If I put the Server2K CD in, it

will boot into that install fine.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Hello Brian,

 

Do you have just the 2 .iso files on the disk or did you burn the image with

an image burner, so that you have a complete folder structure on the disk?

I have them on 2 CDs and used Roxio so there is a complete folder structure

on both disks. Just not bootable for some reason.
