It's possible that you may have some bad RAM. &nbsp;Pull the last 4GB out and try it, since it worked with Standard.

I have a IBM 8670 that I am attempting to load Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 on. My challenge is that it hangs on the &quot;Installing Devices&quot; and will not move beyond that. I have tried using different media and versions of Enterprise with no success. The status bar continues to move and the mouse is responsive. The strange thing is I successfully loaded the Standard version with no issues. I need Enterprise as I have 8G of ram installed.<br />
<br />
Any help or ideas will be appreciated.

Server 2003 Enterprise

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).
