Guest ray Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Hi there, Am i the only one having this problem? We are action pack subscribers. I can't get Server 2008 Enterprise 32 and 64 bit Beta 3 disk to install on any of our bench servers. It just wont boot off of the DVD. I have even tried to upgrade from Server 2003. Any ideas. -- Thanx for any help Ray

You meant running Setup.exe from inside Server 2003? And which part failed? I'm not an action pack subscriber, but I got the Beta 3 CD through TechNet Mag, and it boots fine. Can you double check that you have a DVD instead of CD (stupid suggestion: but I actually put the DVD into a CD-ROM wanting it to boot and just found out that I am not using a DVD) -- Jabez Gan [MVP] Microsoft MVP: Windows Server http://www.blizhosting.com MSBLOG: http://www.msblog.org "ray" <ray@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B9CA8518-91A7-489B-B3C8-CA2EF5A0D7FE@microsoft.com... > Hi there, > > Am i the only one having this problem?
