Hi,
For a project I need to have W2008 running for a while, preferably on a physical machine. So I'm exploring this route before going virtual.
This is the setup:
HP 8530w laptop
200Gb internal sata HDD
8 Gb RAM
External sata HDD
Windows 7 is installed on the internal HDD.
I'd like to install w2008 on the external HDD.
The e-sata drive is recognized in w7, and I set the boot order in the BIOS as CD/DVD-esata-internal HD.
I boot from the w2008 DVD and select disk2partition1 as the destination. The install runs until first reboot.
Then the error appears: /windows/system32/winload.exe is either corrupted or missing.
BCDEDIT output:

nx OptIn
I tried different drive letters for the w2008 partition, to no avail, the error is still the same.
Can this be done at all? Should I start using an 3rd party bootmanager? Did I make a mistake somewhere?
Many thanks,
Coyo
