New server setup

[Guest Terry On Windigo]

I've setup a few servers but not experienced this before. Any ideas. I am

installing server 2003 standard on a computer that has a 130 gig hd, 2.4

Celeron, 512 meg memory. After the CD loads into memory, and after it loads

all the setup files into ram, it says "Setup is starting Windows", only it

never does. It just stays there. What could I be over looking. I had been

running server 2000 on this machine for a little while and wanted to put

2003 on it. The new HD seems to be fine. As a thought, I let the 2000

version partition and format the new drive with NTFS, and it did it just

fine, so I doubt it is the HD. Docs say I only need 128 memory, but I've

got 512.

Well I wondered about that. Does anyone know if 2003 runs on a Celeron? I

would think that could be the only problem. 2000 has been running on this

machine for quite a while.

Terry,

Sorry for the delay. My world has gotten busy. While I didn't check the

processor specs for SBS 2003 I feel a 2.4 Ghz Celeron is fine. My first

thoughts lie in the video card, hard drive controller or even in the cd

itself. Have you cleaned it or checked it on another computer?
