Windows 2000 server

[lcrimail]

I just installed win xp but with windows 2000 server I have some difficulties, failed boot during installation from cdrom and iso image.

What can I do?

Is Windows 2000 server cd bootable?
Please also check that there is CD-DVD-rom is set to use CD-DVD in Configuration Editor
And Enabled and connect at startup is selected

I have to check for answering to first question, if cdrom is not bootable, i should create a virtual floppy boot?

cdrom is setted as connect at start up and enable.

 

[John@Parallels]

Yes, you can create bootable fdd, and use some software, which creates img, or fdd images, like win http://www.winimage.com/download.htm

while you are answering me i have done as you told.

I created with start/run X:/bootdisk/makeboot a: the four floppy disk. After with winimage I created the fdd image and with parallel from device menu I changed during the boot the various image floppy.

It's very simple

I have a little problem, in win2k server it's used the ctrl alt canc combination....how do i do?

 

[John@Parallels]

You need to redefine several key combination setting them out from CTRL and ALT
Please set key combination to others (avoiding CTRL+ALT in the same operation)
Parallels Desktop - Preferences - Keyboard

Can I use a domain controller in win2kserver now?

I have installed winxp e win2kserver on parallel, i setted my network and two windwos are visible onsame workgroup.

I don't succeed to add winxp pro to domain controller of win2kserver.

How do I have to do?

 

[John@Parallels]

You need to switch both VMs to Bridged Ethernet

 

[lcrimail]

But the two pc are both visible on the network!!!
I setted bridge but I don't succeed

 

[John@Parallels]

Domain Controller should handle many incoming ports, it is pain to set redirection for all this
