Trying to add server role, Windows Server 2003 disk not included

I'm trying to add the Microsoft SMTP and IIS server roles to my Windows 2003 Server. It's a Proliant ML350 tower unit. While going through the "Manage My Server" utility, it prompts me to insert the Windows 2003 Server Disk. The only disks sent with this machine are the SmartStart 6.3 CD and HP Management CD.

Do either of these disks contain the OS? How do I get to it?

David:

Did Windows come pre-installed? If so, look for an i386 folder on your hard drive. You should be able to point to that folder to get the files needed for installing additional components.

If not, you will need to find the orignal media used to install the server.

Both of those disks do NOT have Windows files on them.
