thanks for the warning Please can you advse then how do a get XP off my server. Setup C: running XP Pro (80 GB SATA) D: and F: (300 GB SATA)Two Partition F: Has the Windows Server 2003 Marvin

My final Question When I installed Windows 2003 I used my F: drive and so my C: still has windows XP pro. When i boot up and can choose XP pro and Windows server 2003. I feeling very comforatble with windows 2003 now so i need to remove thwe XP from the C: drive my question is as follows When i reformat the c: drive will their be any booting issue or will it just boot up into windows 2003.

Ok Update I installed the Windows 2003 and all went ok. The OS is now recognizing the 4GB of RAM. The problem I had last night was that the CPU Fan burned out. I know it was making some noise when it was on The XP PRO. I guess that it was just the normal time for it to go. My question is. Since I Prefer apache as a Web server over IIS. I had to uninstall IIS as it was using my port 80(conflict). Now IIS is uninstalled will it affect like my domain controller, DNS.

Thanks, I thought that would be the best solution. Ok this is going to be a long night. To back my information then install a new OS then reinstall the application YIKE! Then learn how to use Windows 2003

Ok, Here goes, I just bought windows server 2003 OS and I am going to install it tonight. I have (2) SATA hard drives. If can move all my data from C XP OS) to D and install server 2003 on C: I should be able to retrieving the software. I thinking of deleting the partition in C: with the present OS and then install windows server only. Please can you provide me with the best option of installing windows Server 2003 RC 2. This option should not slow this system or create must additional work. Less work is ideal, but no lost of performance.

I know that XP is limited to 3 GIGs RAM and i running 4 GIG RAM on my XP now. I think after it all I am going to have to upgrae to Windows 2008 . I am just afraid that the update is going to be a pain. I not even sure that the following program will work on a 64bit windows 2008. Apache HTTPD 2.2.8 Openssl 0.9.8g MySQL 5.0.51a PHP 5.2.5 PHP 4.4.8 phpMyAdmin 2.11.4 FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.25 Mercury Mail Transport System 4.52 Clamwin Perl 5.8.8 mod_perl 2.0.3 I might use my Kids computer( they are going to be upset) for 2 days and put windows 2008 on it and test all the programs to see if they work. Then if i am happy, then make the change to the server. Now the question is when or if a make that move to windows 2008 64 BIT will my present setup CPU Manufacturer: Genuine Intel Number of CPU: 1 (2 Core(s)/CPU, 1 Logical(s)/Core) CPU Type: Intel® Core™2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz CPU Speed: 2133.2 MHz Cache size: 4096KB O/S: Windows XP (WIN32) Total RAM: 3070.5 MB.

Thanks for excellent reply, Would the benefit of the move be significantly worth it from were you stand. Right now if I moved to windows server 2003 I would be able to the move utilize the 4 GIG RAM I already have in the XP and even many be goto 8 gig RAM

My apologizes, but I think the main question is being lost here, IIS is not going to be used for my web server I am using apache, which can has unlimited connections. The main question is as follows I've put in a lot of work on the XP box and if I change the OS to Windows server 2003 or 2008 I will lose all my data. Is there a way I can change and have all the programs and still installed? Like MYSQL and etc without the need to reinstall the applications. Other option is to upgrade the 32 bit XP pro to 64 bit XP pro. If I did would a lose all my data again. The final question. What is the major gain for upgrading to windows server 2003/8 is it for IIS connections. It’s not worth it because apache takes care of that the connection limitation that IIS has in XP. The only problem I see is to create a domain controller and active directory on XP in not possible. So I might have to build another server with windows 2003/08 to act as the DNS server domain controller and active directory. If you read my post it mentions all the hardware and software on the server. The question is that sufficient

getting windows 2003 /2008 in not the issue. Ok maybe changing from XP to windows server 2003 better, is there any major difference if I change. the reason i am asking is for two reasons 1) i am not very familiar with windows 2003 server i am more comfortatble with XP. 2) I've put in a lot of work on the XP box and if i change the OS to Windows server 2003 or 2008 i will lose all my data. Is there a way i can change and have all the programs and still installed. like MYSQL and etc without the need to reinstall the applications. If that is possible then i'll make the change. IIS is not an issue as i use Apache as my webserver
