juansifu Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Even though that sound like a plan I would suggest running Windows Server 2003 in a Virtual Machine within your XP install. If you have a laptop and are considering installing it on an external drive you may run into issue where it will not boot properly. Take a look at this link for more info http://www.howtoforge.com/import_vmware_images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieqin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 learn from me, I am not talk down to you, install vmare, it is very famous, or you may install virtual pc, you may install your 2003 OS in your external disk if your hard disk don't have enough free space left, I use vmare every day.
