Netman66 pretty much covered all the bases. One more thing to try, swap the memory out. Or pull some of it out for the install.

I am having one time trying to figure out where the problems are installing win 2k3 on a server i built. &nbsp;I have done it before but now I am trying to install it again. &nbsp;I have a p4 3.2 g processor with 2 gig mem and a adaptec 1200 ata card with 4 20 g wd hard drives attached. &nbsp; I am getting all kinds of can load *.sys files, and so on. &nbsp;Now, &nbsp;the question is , &nbsp;\<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;clear each drive including the master boot record &nbsp; (did that , did not help)<br />
2. &nbsp;install after 98 disk installed &nbsp;(did that, did not help)<br />
<br />
<br />
And so on, &nbsp;i have every kind of tool you can imagine, &nbsp;It just seems that i need direction for older drives reconfigured raid devices.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />

2003 Server installation on older drives configured as raid 0

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
