    Anyone try this ? I wanted to install 2003 on a spare drive so I installed 2003 and the video driver for the ATI128 and it even recognized the OS. When I rebooted I got the ever popular blue screen of death.

    Strange. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Probably the graphics driver. Try not specifying.

    The OS loaded fine. The only thing I can think of that I did was I changed the resolution from 600x800 to 1000+(?) before rebooting. That would be weird if that caused it to crash. Will try again tonight and report.
