Well I've decided to try vmware so that I can install win2k server to run a mail server but I can't get win2k server to install.
I've setup the virtual machine as pretty much stock, I boot to the cd-rom and windows installs fine untill it gets to the GUI part where it wants a key and where you specify a user. I enter in everything and it looks like it's installing and setting everything up fine but then all the sudden it just goes right back to the initial GUI setup and it asks me the same questions over and over again and I never actually get to a desktop or even a logon screen.
It appears to be "resetting" after or during the hardware setup, the part where windows says your screen may flicker and turn off a couple of times.
Does anyone know what's going on?
