I am using Xen Server ( 30 day trial ) on Intel VT Clovertown server with 8 cpus and 16gb RAM. I am trying to install Windows2003 Enterprise Edition on this setup. The Windows setup starts up fine , but at the time of copying files from CD , it is not able to copy a number of DLLs, .aspx,.exe, .js and so many other files from the i386 folder of the windows cd.
When i skip the copying of these numerous files, finally windows is installed but without most of its features.(obviously)
The installation cd is working absolutely fine when i install Windows 2003 on some other desktop machines and fully functional windows can be installed on the desktops.
So i think the problem maybe with paravirtualization/VT hardware.
The VT flag is enabled in BIOS.I am able to install FC4 ,FC6, SuSE 10.1, Debian.
Does anyone have an idea about why this may be happening?? (Setup unable to copy files from i386 folder of installation cd )
This is my machine configuration.
