    Server 2008 Problems


    I am using Virtual Box 2.2.4 since it's the version we have at uni and my debian file won't work on the newer versions. But when I try and get Server 2008 from dreamspark to work it won't. It keeps saying "no bootable medium" when I first boot it up. Also, can you get server 2008 to work in virtual PC?

    You can absolutely run server 2008 in a VM. I do it all of the time...in fact, servers are about the only thing that I run virtually.

    Is your copy of server 2008 an ISO file? And do you have it connected when the vm starts up?
