This is the url I used. http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/index.htm
 
But now I wanted to install partition magic cuz my partitions are fucked up. But I cant install cuz I am using Windows server 2003 now. The manual says that if you have that problem I have to tweak it. But thats stupid then I better can install my Windows Xp again. Does someone has a better way to solve this.
 
Tnx in advance ...

you are prolly sol. All you can try is install P<Magic on another pc that not server 2003, and make a bootdisk from there. PMgic may see that it is a server though and simply refuse to run just cause they want the cash for Powerquest "volume manager" their server partition magic.

Pretty easy!!!
 
1) Create rescue diskettes in PQMagic on other comp. or use
different partition tool like Acronis! (2disk)
 
2) In Windows Explorer delete
 
ntldr
ntdetect.com
boot.ini
 
3) Reboot and use PQMagic in DOS, now you should use PQMagic, to resize or format.

P.S. Deleting those files it will prevent to start you op. system!!!
Only do that if you wanna do a clean install!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello
 
I have solution for you!!
 
The solution is: FIND setup.exe of partition magic installation and than right clik mouse on setup.exe file and than clik on properties!!
 
When you open PROPERTIES go to COMPATIBILITY and clik in Compability mode: Run this program in compability mode for:
Windows 95
 
When you doit that,only you must do is clik on OK!That's it!
 
Now clik on setup and enjoy in Partition Magic in Windows Server 2003!
 
I hope so that you will send me thanks to me!:-)
 
I'm from Croatia and I hope that you will undestand my English
 
Enjoy
