Installing Server 2003 x64 From MSDN Disk

[Guest ServerHelp!]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I have been completely

unsucessful in trying to get a hold of Microsoft.

 

I am trying to install a Dell Server using my MSDN disks. I have been trying

to install the 64 bit OS for Server 2003. When the server boots up, it only

gives me the option of the 32 bit OS options, not 64bit. I contacted Dell to

ensure the system is 64bit and it is.

 

Does anyone know how to get the 64 bit option installed? I have tried

burning just Server 2003 x64 to a CD but the system doesn't boot from CD

either. It keeps saying no OS found.

 

Any help would be greately appreciated!

Did you download and use the MSDN ISO to create the DVD disk image?
