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..

    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.

  • Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition,  Oracle process needs 5 Gb memory

    Hi
    Actually i'm under Windows 2003 server Standard Edition and Oracle Standard 9.2.0.6.
    I need to have for my oracle process (User Process) a large amount of memory. (>= 5 Gb) probably 3 Gb for the PGA and 2 Gb for the SGA. (roughly).
    I'm looking on AWE 4GT etc... Microsoft is'nt clear about this.
    People with a similar experiment? Is it necessary to migrate under Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edittion ?
    All informations and experiences are welcome.
    Regards
    Den

    Before considering ways to overcome process addressing limits (32-bit process virtual address space), Windows Server Std Ed can use/see maximum 4 GB RAM. You cant fit 5GB Oracle Server memory + other stuff + OS in that. I guess your only options are EE 32-bit or Std Ed x64, if you have the hardware.
    But, staying on the 32-bit path, it will be hard to achieve confilicting objects of large memory areas. Remember that process virtual space is 4GB regardless of how much RAM the hardware (and OS) can manage.

  • 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

  • How long does it take to install mountain lion

    how long does it take to install mountain lion

    It depends on a number of factors - the speed of your computer and hard drive mostly. My experience has been that a standard upgrade will take 30-45 minutes. If you are erasing the hard drive and installing, it takes about 20-30 minutes, not counting migrating your data and applications.
    This doesn't count downloading which can take as litting as 40 minutes (a very fast broadband connection during off hours) to as much as several hours.

    Measuring a 1% discharge is likely not very helpful.
    Why not see how long your battery lasts on a full charge?

  • How long does it takes to install Logic Pro x

    Can anyone tell me how long does it takes to install Logic Pro x?

    You need to drop the Logic Pro x icon into applications, this will then install onto the machine, once installed click on Logic Pro X icon, application will start to download in a matter of minutes, the blue bar will be visible showing the download progress.
    When the application is fully installed you can then download all the additional instruments if required.

  • How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    That is going to depend on the speed of your Internet connection as well as your machine. It took about an hour to install on my mid 2011 iMac if I recall. I started it and walked away, stopping in to check on it a few times throughout the evening.  That doesn't include the time it takes to download the ~5GB installer.

    It always depends on your network.
    Can always go to http://www.speedtest.net and it will let you know your download speed and can do the math.
    It will take about 2 hours on a good network though.
