    Dear all,

    I got a laptop for seconds sale. I need to install server 2003. Already XP is been loaded in it. But when i try to install Server 2003, I am getting an error message " Setup did not find any HDD installed in your computer. Make sure that HDD is powered on .... ".

    But if i try with a VISTA OS CD it is entering into the setup. If i try with any XP CD i am not able to enter the stage of HDD partitoning

    In bios also i cant find any settings under system configuration area. Just f10 delay,USB boot enable and network boot enable.
    I cant predict how to start the installation.
    Kindly help me to this instalaltion process of MS SERVER 2003.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Rakesh
