To clarify what was previously mentioned... you can only install 2003 Server using virtualization software such as Parallels or VMware's Fusion. You cannot install Windows 2003 Server using BootCamp which is the boot manager shipped with Leopard.

it should work, according to this (rather old) discussion: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=2291517#post2291517.
Apple says in [this|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461] support article:
Requirements
A full, single-disc version of Windows 7 (Mac OS X v10.6 or later only), Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc. Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2. _*Media Center, OEM, and upgrade versions of Windows XP are not recommended*_.
but they don't say it's not possible.
good luck !

Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

Installing Windows 2003 Server

I'm attempting to install Windows 2003 server using the 875P Neo. The system boots from the CD and loads all of the Windows driver, however, when I get to the part where I have to format the HD, the system states that it's unable to format.
Do I have to pre-load any MSI driver during the boot installation? Like drivers to support the 875 chip set?
Thanks,
David

Once Windows loads, I get the following msg: "Setup cannot format the partition. Your computer may not have enough memory to perform this operation, or your Windows CD-ROM may contain some corrupted files."
I've tried this with several disks. It will work with my Windows XP disks.
Has anyone seen this problem? Is this a BIOS configuration issue?
Regards,
David

Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro ?

Q1)
Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) and use it as a server in my small office network ?
Q2)
If i have OS X Server, can some of the client machines be windows Xp / 7 ? Will it work well ?

A1: Yes.
A2: Yes. (Though this is dependent on exactly what you're planning to do. Windows Server and Active Directory will be a better choice for Windows distributed authentication, for instance.)
A3: are you going to have your MacBook Pro configured at a static IP address, with proper local DNS running on your server or some other LAN-local device (server provide and need local DNS, and referencing your ISP DNS won't work here), and will your server be available most- or full-time for the clients that are going to come to depend on the services from the server? If not, then this approach is probably not the best one. What happens to your environment and to any of your shared data if you're carrying your MacBook Pro server around and it happens to get dropped or lost or stolen?
A4: If you're "just" planning on serving storage to your other systems, then get a NAS device. Something akin to an Time Capsule, or a Synology NAS widget, or similar network-attached storage devices are available, flexible, and cost-effective. NAS devices are also usually rather less to manage than a full-blown server, too.
A5: If you have specific services or requirements in mind, somebody here might be able to provide a more specific answer.
TL;DR: Servers differ from clients in that a client outage generally adversely effects only one user, where a server outage generally adversely effects multiple users.

Installing Windows 2003 Server Standard/XP is very slow- how long does it take?

Hello, I'm looking for some ideas here... I tried installing Windows 2003 on my newly build computer, but after 3 hours it still wasn't installed, and seemed to just be really really slow, and not frozen. I ended up giving up and tried putting windows xp on it, but after an hour it still didn't finish installing. I figure there really has to be something wrong here... The only thing out of the ordinary is that I'm using 4GB ram DDR2 667. How long does it take to install windows xp on your system?!?
Things that I've tried have been:
disabled hypterthreading
loaded optimized settings
changed sata to mode II
MSI 945G Neo-F Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945G ATX Intel Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3160812AS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Intel Pentium 4 650 Prescott 800MHz FSB LGA 775 EM64T
pqi TURBO $GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Unbuffered Dual
POwer: Ultra Xfinity 500Watt ATX +5v +3.3v +12v1 +12v2 -12v +5vsb
BIOS 1.2
Optial Drive: Generic Toshiba DVD

1&3 and 2&4 seem to be working okay, I've tested all these combinations (this is just plugging in the memory and looking at the cpu in task manager)
mem1 in slot 1 okay (tested slot 1 okay)
mem1 in slot 1
mem2 in slot 3 okay (test 2gigs in duel channel first set of memory okay)
mem3 in slot 1
mem4 in slot 3 okay (tested 2 gig in duel channel second set of memory)
mem1 in slot 2 okay (tested slot 2 okay)
mem1 in slot 2
mem2 in slot 4 okay (tested the second duel channel okay)
mem1 in slot 1
mem2 in slot 3
mem3 in slot 2
mem4 in slot 4 high cpu
mem3 in slot 1
mem1 in slot 2
mem4 in slot 3
mem2 in slot 4 high cpu
I upgraded to the latest bios, no luck... I haven't run any extensive memory tests, but through the tests i did, it seems that the memory is okay. Given these tests do you think it is more likely a problem with the motherboard running 4 slots? Or maybe some power issue, where the 4 sticks of memory are not getting enough power to work right.
The power supply I am using is Xfinity 500W
+5V/30A +3.3/30A +12V1/16A +12V2/18A -12V/0.6A +5VSB/2.5A
Thanks for your feedback..

Connecting to a Windows 2003-Server with a MacBook

Hi guys!
I'm planning on buying a MacBook anytime soon. The main purpose of this investment is work at school. Therefore I have to ensure that everything works perfectly, otherwise I would have to buy a Windows notebook (in fact not the kind of decision I wanna make).
We have a Windows 2003-Server and every other pupil can easily connect to this server with a Windows XP machine wirelessly. They can use printers, surf the Internet and use all the network harddrives (like F: for everyone; P: for projects were only certain groups have access to certain folders; and Z: your home-directory where only the very user has access).
I need to make sure 2 things:
a) When I connect to the network via Airport, does the system ask me for my account, so I can have (or have not) access to files I am entitled to?
b) Does everything work fine under normal condition?
I am aware that something could happen nobody could have forseen, but as the MacBook is a bigger investment than a € 700 windows crapbook, I would like to make sure that everything should work seemlessly.

Thanks Jay, It now auto log's in but it's still not acting like a networked drive - when saving an attachment etc I still can't save direct to the server as it doesn't appear in the listing.. I need to save to desktop or doc's then manually drag it into the server... this is a pain...
Any further ideas.

Can't install windows 8.1 on 2015 MacBook pro

I'm trying to install windows 8.1 with boot camp and this is the message I keep getting. I've tried several times and every time I get this. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. I've tried installing from a usb with ISO and also from a oem windows dvd. Any help would be appreciated.

First, make a time machine backup. You will need to erase ands reformat your hard drive. I had the same issue. The issue is that you can't install Windows using bootcamp without having the hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do this from disk utility or recovery mode (hold down command and r at startup). Then you have to restore the backup to the hard drive. Then make a usb installer drive with bootcamp and then partition and install. Here's a tip: after you install bootcamp and are in the Windows desktop, go into the installer drive and then go into the bootcamp or support folder, then find a installer that contains the Apple bootcamp drivers. Also, you will need to convert the disk to an iso file. TO MAKE THE USB DRIVE FROM A DISC, USE THIS LINK

How can I install Windows 7 by USB? MacBook late 2008 10.6.8 Boot Camp 3.0.4

Someone please help...
I have tried software update and no luck. I think my Boot Camp on Mac 3.0.4 is not showing me the right option on creating a USB installation. It asks me to load Windows 7 CD when I don't have it, I bought it online... Every download I tried from Apple is .exe and I am losing hope on this one...

You can only install Windows from a USB with one of these Macs:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and later).
- iMac (Late 2012).
- MacBook Air.
If you bought Windows in Internet and you got it in a ISO image, you can burn it into a DVD. Simply double-click the ISO image, open Disk Utility, right-click the ISO image in the sidebar and burn it

Can I install Windows 7 in 13-inch MacBook Pro (2.7 ghz Dual Core i-7) without problem

Can I install Windows 7 without any trouble in Macbook Pro (2.7 Ghz Dual Core I-7) ?

Since I always look at Windows as a problem, I would have to say no.
But if you must then you need to create a partition with Boot Camp in which to install your copy of Windows 7. The Core I7 doesn't support XP or Vista.

How can I install windows 8.1 on my macbook pro late 2013?

I bought a new Macbook pro 15" late 2013 and i want to install windows 8.1 on it. I tried several times but it always says me that windows cannot be installed on the partition that i made with bootcamp assistant.
Thank you for your answers
Alessandro

You can install Windows 8.1 using Boot Camp Assistant or by using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

Can I install Windows XP on a new macbook with lion preinstalled?

I have a fully licensed version of windows XP that I used for snow leopard, but bootcamp on my new macbook air only recognizes windows 7.
A) can I install XP and skip 7? How?
B) if not, can I buy a windows 7 upgrade and somehow use my licenced XP as a baseline? If so, how?
C) It would suck if I have to buy another full version of windows 7 just because I upgraded to Lion.
D) Would it be worth removing lion from my new macbook, installing snow leopard, then installing XP and then upgrading to Lion? How bass ackwards would that be?
Thanks!!!

Can I install windows XP and Ubuntu in macbook pro ? (without using virtual machine )

Hi,
I am planning to buy new Apple Macbook Pro with i5 processor , 2.4 GHZ , 500GB HDD , 4GB RAM.
I want to know can I install ubuntu and windows XP on this Mac ?
I don't want to use VMWare (virtual machine) software to install these OS.
When system boots It should shows the options, which OS to open ?
is it possible to run and perform well 3 OS (including Mac) . or it will affect something ?

Two, yes, but not three.
head to you know Ubuntu support forum and see what they are up to, they might be able to guide you.
Do you use a Mac or will this be a first?
XP is EOL I am sure you know and no more patches or support, and with new Sandy Bridge and later motherboaords, lack of true support for SSDs often used in laptops... dying.
