On the Windows setup screen, when it first begins at the bottom of that screen is it now show press F6?  If not, when windows starts the installation start pressing F6.  It should then get to the screen you need.

You should be able to press F6 even if it does not offer the option if you just start mashing the key once it starts to boot from the disc.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can boot off Dell's &quot;Build and Update Utility&quot; disk and it should pre-stage the drivers for you as well as all the other drivers you'll need and the disagnostic partition as well. &nbsp;<br />
It should be here: &nbsp;<a href="http://tinyurl.com/3cu47y8" rel="ugc">http://tinyurl.com/3cu47y8</a> or <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6455v86" rel="ugc">http://tinyurl.com/6455v86</a><br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
