I want to install a Windows 2003 Server VM on my SBS 2011 Host. The product comes as 5 CD's from Technet. However Disk 1 is not bootable.
You mount the CD and then run setup.exe. Is the best way to do this to install a bootable image of say Windows XP SP3 but define the OS as Windows 2003 Server (custom install) with around 60 GB and maybe 1 GB of RAM? Then I can mount CD 1 and proceed from there. I just want to check WS 8.0.2 will not care that you've said your'e installing Window 2003 but have "fooled it" by actually installing an XP image and upgrading In short what's a Windows name to WS? Naturally I'll install Tools after I setup 2003. I'd rather not be frustrated again with the WS product after I've gone ahead and burned 5 CD's
Thanks
