One of our old servers just crashed (HP PowerEdge SC1430) and (as always) the original CDs cannot be found…
We downloaded the instalation ISO from DELL and the Official Windows Server 2003 ISO from Microsoft, but the Microsoft ISO wont boot either burning it to a CD/DVD or trying to mount it from Virtual Box, or booting from Dell's CD and then inserting the ISO image when asked
Do you know if there is a special method to make the WS2003 CD disk?
Regards….

Cd 1 boot, not Cd2 for R2.
Check your download to validate what its, as you can see the boot file on it.
Be sure its not just SP2 you downloaded. (In those days they offered iso with only the SP on it). People tried to slipstream them, but its not bootable.
