Re: 2003 Trial Version -- setup dialog troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
i downloaded the windows server trial version to practice at home, however
i'm having a small problem. I downloaded the ISO file in my work place and
when i get at home, i inserted the CD and all it shows up is a the file
X13-05665.img. When i double click the icon i get an error message saying
that windows cannot open the file and if i would like to select a program
from a list or use the internet to open the file.
I know this might sounds silly but i really don't know what to do.

Thank you in advance

Hello miguel,

..img is an image file that can not run oin this way. Use your burning software
and choose the option to burn from image file. Then it will extract the real
folder structure to disk.

Re: 2003 Trial Version -- setup dialog troubleshooting

Hi Meinolf,
i do apreciatte your help and thank's a lot for the prompt reply.

Problem as well is that i'm trying to install the trial version on a old
computer that doesn't have cd-rw but functions at 800mhz processor and 512
RAM. It's enough to practice at home.
Is it possible to connect my laptop or my recent computer to my old computer
with a network cable, and load the cd from my most recent computer ( wich has
the cd-rw) to the old computer?
I also have an external cd-rw from the old computer but for my bad luck is
not working,...

Kind regards

Miguel

Hello miguel,

If you have the real disk burned, copy it to a shared folder on the machine.
Give both machines fixed ip's and use a cross cable to connect them directly
or connect via a switch. Create a boot disk, http://www.bootdisk.com/ , with
network support and connect to the share from theire it should be possible
to start the installation.

Best regards

Hello Meinolf,

thank's a lot once again for your prompt reply.

I'm just installing the windows server with a Evaluation KIT CD that i asked
at school.

Allthought, the way you troubleshoot the problem looks perfect to me and it
should work. Plus, is a good lesson for me because i only have 2 exams done
so far. Thank you so much once again

Kind regards
