Steve,

No, but our network admin has Windows 7 and Server 2008 running in "virtual machine" on his. That seems to be the key, so I would look in that direction. Here are some basics:

Many thanks for the assist it was very helpful, Managed to install W2K3 but as i found out you cannot boot from Raid+ACHI, i can only boot by setting the bios to separet IDE controllers. So im going back to XP.

Workaround found, but not compatible with my testing.
