I have Windows 2003 with SP2 and when placed The R2 Cd it says cannot install.
I think It can be upgraded if it has Sp1.
Any ideas on this...
What is the exact error? Did you install Server 2003 with the R2 key?
I am not 100% sure if it will work or not, but you may want to try downloading the second disk from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/r2/trial/installinstruct.mspx
These disks already have SP2 integrated with more current hotfixes and patches.
Good luck.
