Newbie to 64bit installation on AMD Athlon64 x2 dual core 5400+ 2.8 Ghz

[Guest JPTHSD]

Hi there,

I am newbie for 64bit OS installation...so little retarded anyone can call

:)!

I have new system Asus M2A-VM HDMI motherboard with Ahtlon64 x2 dual core

5400+ 2.8Ghz with 4GB RAM, 500GB Seagate SATAII

 

1. Windows 2003 ent server 32bit installation OK

 

2. PROBLEM with Windows 2003 Ent server 64BIT or any 64bit OS installation:

I have a CD with Windows 2003 64bit Ent server edition (I created the image

from original W2K3 64 Ent Server CD and burned the image to CD-R)

I inserted the W2K3 64bit to the CD/DVD Rom drive to boot, the CD/DVD Rom

flashes several times to read the media CD and then there is a blinking

cursor with black background...!

 

Do I miss anything or I have to use the original W2K3 64 Ent installation CD

to boot? (I suspect that the image was created under 32 bit OS and burned to

CD-R under 32bit might not be created correct!)

 

Please advise!

 

Thanks,

JPTHSD

Hi:

Maybe the problem is due to how you burnt the image to the disc.

Many people jusc burn the ISO file to the disc and there's the mistake.

You have to click, using Nero Burning ROM menues, "Recorder", "Burn Image".

That way you get the image back to disc and not the file that contains the

image.

One freeware program you can use is ISO recorder.

Did you burn a .ISO file you had to CD or did you try to

create an installation CD?

Hi guys,

I actually created the Nero image file of that 64bit W2K3 server from my

workstation.

Such I inserted the W2K3 64bit into my CD/DVD-RW, and then created the image

NRG for this CD.

I don't have yet here the original CD of W2K3 64bit, I will get it to

tested.

 

Using the nero, the only way to create an ISO file is to --> MORE--> Save

Track --> ISO file

what I did was created an image under NRG file by my workstation (windows xp

32 bit), so I thought the

image nrg maybe have something wrong as you guy said :(...Hmm I downloaded

the vista enterprise 64bit from MSFT eopen.microsoft.com

let see if I can run the setup from MSFT image.

 

Any more idea why the 64bit image might cause the CD not to boot while

burned the image to the CD?

 

Thanks,

JPTHSD

You might consider whether you have a bad download or a bad burn (do your

burn at a slower speed). I assume you didn't get the message to hit any key

during POST, which means you don't have a bootable CD for some reason.

32-bit or 64-bit operating system makes no difference.

In your process did you tell Nero where to find the boot

image and configure it so it would boot properly?

 

See the article on slipstreaming at

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/How-To--Slipstream-your-XP-installation

and it tells you how to make a bootable disc toward the end.

Hi guys,

Sorry, it was my bad, I checked the original W2K3 64bit CD I found it in my

company, it is W2K3 Enterprise 64bit edition (Itanimum Based System).

 

So it is clear this version can not be booted up in AMD 64 base system.

I assumed the image I got was W2K3 Ent 64 R2 which works on both AMD 64 &

Intel 64 based system.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

Another info to be clarified that the W2K3 Ent 64 R2 or W2K3 Std 64 (there

is no label saying Intel or AMD64) will work on both Intel 64 and/or AMD 64

based system? Anyone's done it?

 

Thanks for all your sharing knowledge!

JPTHSD
