I thought you were a windows guy... can't install windows server 2003?? Anyway, pop the CD in and let the system load from it.

Firstly, I'm not sure what you're fed up about, but whatever it is, it can nearly for sure be answered by the friendly & helpful people here if you just ask it -- I know this from my own experience! Most problems for Linux beginners stem from the fact that he/she is just used to Windows, and assumes that "Linux can't do this," but a simple question "How is this done on Linux" will get you very far, and will free you of all the management & maintenance costs of running a Windows server, not to mention the cost of the licenses and upgrades.
However, as another member said a second before I posted, if you are intent on running Windows Server, just boot from the CD (put the CD in and reboot).
Well finally installed windows, i know its not better than linux, but its working for more, and linux wasn't so ohh well, anyways everything is up and running and i cant complain
