Windows Server 2003? 2008? 2008-R2 The 2008 series is based on the Vista kernel, while the 2003 is based on teh XP kernel, so your pc should be able to handle Visa/7 configuration if you are trying to isntall server 2008. System specs? error messages?

I think he meant Windows Server 2008 R2 because the title is about it.

1) Install Windows Server 2008 R2 on your notebook (I am using a Lenovo T61P), but leave about 20GB of free space available.
2) Install all the roles and features on your machine….here is what I have
- Hyper-V role
- Desktop Experience feature
- Wireless LAN
- Windows Server Backup
3) Run Windows update to get any driver updates….you will end up with multiple missing device drivers in Device Manager.
4) On that additional 20 GB partition, install Windows 7 x64 Enterprise or Ultimate
5) Run Windows update on the Windows 7 installation until all yellow bangs are resolved (this might take a couple of reboots)
6) Now reboot into the Windows Server 2008 R2 installation, open Device Manager
7) For each yellow bang, right click it and say Update Driver Software, when you get the dialog, select Browse my computer for driver software
8) In the dropdown box at the top of the screen, browse to the drive that has Windows 7 installed and go to Drive:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, Click Next
9) The new driver should be found and automatically installed.
10) Repeat for all other drivers.
When you are done, you should have Windows 7 x64 drivers installed (except for the Bluetooth driver probably)
Hope that helps you fellow Windows Server 2008 R2 users….
