The original discs were found, thanks for the suggestions.

Will try that on Monday, was hoping to get it done before then though. Thanks.

Thanks, but its not activation Im having a problem with, its the actual install. And yes, the license sticker is definitely legit. I think the problem lies in that I dont have an R2a disc, but an R2 one.

OK, so I have a legit license for Windows Server Standard 2003 R2 and I have tried numerous ISO's but I cannot get the product key I have to work with any of them. I even went to Rectron, who recently fixed the server, and they were kind enough to burn me an OEM disc. Still no luck. Apparently it is the DSP version but when I did a google search for the serial # on the license I saw something about it being R2a, which I didn't know existed. Its really quite confusing with all the different versions out there and I cannot for the life of me find a disc that works. Anyone have any experience with this and can point me in the right direction? See license sticker below for product info. Desperately need to get this thing reloaded. Thanks.
