They are two different products, you must format the disk and install Windows 2003 Standard.

i know they are different but it doesn t permit to me to uninsstall the sbs 2003. When i try to install 2003 server SE, the server says me that the HD is not present. how i can install 2003 SE?

Regards.

That's another thing, what controller are you using?
You need to press F6 at the beggining of the Windows CD boot and provide it the driver for the controller.

by the way this is the other workaround

Check this out:

Follow the steps below and there is no need to use Floppy Drive or a Slipstreaming OS CD:

1.

Install the OS with Embedded SATA RAID Disabled (No Drivers or F6 required) on one Harddrive.
2.

Once OS is installed, Extract the Embedded SATA RAID Drivers to a folder. HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003:


3.

Go to Control Panel-> Add New Hardware->Device is connected->New Hardware->Raid Controller->Have Disk->Browse to the folder where the Embedded SATA RAID Drivers were extracted. Select the .inf file->Install Adaptec Raid Driver.
4.

Restart the Server go to BIOS enable the Embedded SATA RAID.
5.

Press F8 and go to Sata Raid BIOS->Configure the Drives->Create Array->Raid 0/1 A warning message will appear "Warning: Configuring the drives will erase all Array information from the selected drives, if that drive is part of an array. Arrays using any of these drives as members will be affected! Do you want to continue?(Yes/No):". Press "Y" to continue.
6.

If Raid 1 is selected it will ask you what is the Source Disk, select the Right Disk in which OS was installed previously. Warning message might appear again. Select "Y".
7.

Rebuild will take sometime, once rebuild is complete restart the server.

Once rebooted Raid would be detected and windows would boot up, in windows it would detect new hardware and Adaptec Raid drivers will be installed. Now Server is built migrated to Raid Successfully.
