chakotay2 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 The I64 version of 2008 does not self-boot on its own. (it's not a bootable DVD once imaged). I am running WinXP Pro 32 bit but have free partitioned space to dual boot Server 2008 I64. It won't install within windows (says not a valid win32 op)... so my question is, how do I install it? I have tried re-imaging with VLite... no luck... Any suggestions? Quote
Forum² Admin F2 Staff Posted May 30, 2008 Forum² Admin Posted May 30, 2008 You can't run or install x64 software in a 32bit environment. Only way to install is make the dvd bootable. I have burned every build of Windows 2008 while beta testing and not once did any of them not boot. You must have a bad iso. Quote
