Hi,
Today i downloaded the server 2008 enterprise x86 iso file from microsoft download center. After i extract the iso file into seperate folder namely "server2008". My system configuration is given below:
C:\ [ Windows XP Pro SP2 Genuine is installed ] - NTFS 40GB
D:\ [ Usefull Stuff, Downloads... ] - NTFS 40GB
E:\ [ Newly created partition to install server 2008 ] - NTFS 40 GB
F:\ [ Empty space ] - Extended Partition.
Then i run the "setup". The installation wizard started and i selected the "E" drive. The files are copied successfully and restarted. Untill restrat, the process is done smoothly. After restart, the system can't start. I checked the BIOS, no problem. A blinking dash (--) is appeared on screen. I tried to restart the computer, still the blicking --- :(
I strange, server 2008 currupts my HDD's Master Boot Record (MBR). There is no virus in my system at the time of installation, because every sunday i ran full system scan for virus treats and backup imp files. I am using kaspersky IS Genuine on my test system and it is up-tp-date.
Note that my system meets server 2008 requirements.
AMD Athlon 64 2Gz Processor
1 GB of RAM - Kingston
