Windows 2003 Server on ECS K7S5A
I have a problem with installing Windows 2003 Server on computer based on ECS K7S5A. Is this mainboard supports Win2003? Thanks.

If you are running a clean install, the problem with W2K,WinXP, and Win2003 will generally be drivers for cards, video, audio, NIC's, etc. If your audio or network connections are on the board itself, it could be these that have the problem in that they are not compatible.
The file you refer to (drvmain.sdb) is a database that contains compatibility problems with certain devices in Win2003. In setup, Win2003 tries to circumvent these problems with some substitutions. It is not always correct. Somewhere on your CD should be a collection of .sdb files that contain incompatibility problems. Viewing these might give you a clue.

In this PC are only MB, processor, RAM, videocard, HDD and CD-ROM. I`ve tried change videocard and RAM but nothing happened. I looked for *.sdb on install CD I found something but these files are not text and on CD-ROM there is nothing about incompability problems with AMD or VIA K7 chipset...

i am sure that ms was not real concerned bout the via based servers out there

my point is that that type of board is not really a good server board.
