Anyone else had a networking problem with virtualPC? I am talking a big one, it completely hosed my tcp/ip stacks. I had to go back to before the install. Just curious as to see if anyone else had this issue.

It worked for me on my 2003 Trial. What version were you using?

Cox

Thought so thanks, I am in the MSH beta program so I thought it might be funny I missed it.

If you don't game that much, and all you need is a very stable OS 2003, other than that just trim off the fat in XP like you would in a beta Os, and it works great also.

Anyone on the developing team able to confirm? Just curious. BTW--SamThorne after install what did the desktop ID read?

Did you try here?

Just curious as to why the link got removed? You can have tweaknt here but not a tool that does more? Or is it because it is a more "all inclusive tool"?

Try out Removed tool. I found it worked better than tweakNT, more options and the like. I know it was posted in one of these forums not to long ago but I just linked to it, because I forgot where I saw it.

Get a host that allows "Hot-Linking" and post the pic with IMG button in the code buttons section when posting.

I ask because I use NT's built in bootloader, I have had success running 3 OS's on it. 2000/XP/RH8. If you are going the Linux route, I say grub(worked the best for me). Or the latest version of LILO, I heard they made alot of improvements. VCOMS partition commander in my opinion is a very good one also, and it is only 30 dollars. Also comes in handy for managing partitions, and for the price you can't beat it.

How many OS's and what type of OS's?

NAV 2004, for W2K3

I decided to get a little crazy and install LH on a HP Pavilion ZE1210 W/ AthlonXP 1400+/512mb/and onboard video. It actually works ok, after I trimmed the fat. That memory leak is a killer though... Even with the leakfix 0.6. Anyhow just wanted to let you all it is running on my little notebook. --Likuidkewl

flyakite -- Calm down buddy it is going to be ok. You are going to drive yourself nuts trying to defend the M$ to the penguin lovers, I gave up a while ago....

From this page at M$. Q. Will the settings I created when using the Evaluation Kit software remain in effect after the 180-day trial, when I install the retail version? A. Yes. If you select the Upgrade option when prompted during setup of the full version (that is, non-evaluation) product, your settings will remain intact. Q. If I have Windows Server 2003 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) or Release Candidate 2 (RC2) and I want to upgrade to the final RTM version, will this be possible? A. Yes. You may upgrade from RC1 or RC2 to the RTM version. Q. I recently installed the 180-day trial version of Windows Server 2003. When I buy the full version of this software, will I have to install it over the evaluation copy? A. Yes. After the 180-day trial period, you will have to install the full version (that is, non-evaluation) product. Q. Can I use the Product Key that is included when I buy a copy of the full version (that is, non-evaluation) product to remove the 180-day limit instead of installing the full version product? A. No. You must install the full version of the product. The new Product Key will not override the 180-day limit on the evaluation software. When you install the full version product, select the Upgrade option when prompted during setup. This will keep the settings you established when you installed the evaluation version of the software. Dont know if this helps but seems as though the RC's will expire themselves and their keys won't work with the Final release. Hope this helped --Likuidkewl

Some good questions are posted above. 1) What is your last installed OS? 2) Can you boot into safe mode, or a command prompt? 3) Have you tried using your W2K3 disk's repair mode?*** *** If you do I would suggest backing up your MBR, due to the fact it more than likely will re-write the whole thing if you use the repair mode. And you will have 2000 and 2K3 but no RH. PM me if you have questions.

This is the easiest and most user friendly tool out there if you are looking to convert. It can change just about everything from Server 2003 to XP Pro 2003. So far I have only noticed if you switch to the "Welcome" screen for a log on, you can't change your User picture, well atleast I haven't found out how. But, that is it! Everything else works like a charm. Great Job.

Got the tool thanks!
