Installation of Windows 2008 Server on Parallels 3.0

[VinayB]

Folks,

I have been trying to install Windows 2008 on Mac OS.
I have parallels 3.0 on my Mac (Unfortunately, I did not get older versions of Windows that are compatible with the Software that I intend to run on Windows OS.

I have a bootable licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server but parallels won't recognize this.
Could you please help me w/ this.

I would have wasted the parallels and Windows licensing cost if this won't work (Bummer)

Thanks,
Vinay Bagare

Windows 2008 Server is not supproted in Parallels Desktop 3.0, see the user guide located at /Applications/Parallels/Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide.pdf. Consider upgrading to the version 4.0, where w2k8 works fine - http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/sr/
