So you can't even install Windows 2003, this STOP error crops up during setup? * yes i can install fine, but it stops when it goes to restart. Are you formatting the partition through setup, or preparing it beforehand? * Through set up when it aske . where do i want to install this OS. Do you have another Windows 2003 CD that you could test, to rule out a media problem? Its not a media prob, because is a MSDN subscriber cd. Im thinking of just putting XP Pro back on it. and just do my Photoshop and do my web stuff on it.

The +64mb, is that set when i install and it asks for the partition c: size? When i get to that point I end up reformatting the whole partition. The debug? will that do it on its own? Thanks

HI, Ive checked and could not find this problemo. I have a older Compaq ProSigina with dual P3600mhz and 2GB RAM. It originaly had server 03 on it but i put XP Pro for an extra desktop. (dumb idea) so i removed the xtra items i put in it such as a usb card and sound card. Xp still was operating fine. Today I went to reformat for Server03 and got the blue screen of death with STOP:c000021a and STATUS OF: 0xc000012f. ive checkd all hardware and all is good. Any advise? Thanks again Scott
