headless install on Windows 2000 server already installed ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

I've been looking around the web for the answer to this question.


I have a Magnia SG20 (small router/server was running linux), this has NO VGA or room for a VGA card.

I've been told that I need to install a patch which i have received from MS but the system won't boot up with no VGA card installed.

I don't think I have the headless side setup correctly.

I know from my searches that Win2k3 handles HEADLESS without any modifications (apparently) but this is no good to me for two reasons.

1: I don't have a licence for W2k3.

2: the Magnia isn't powerful enough to run W2k3 either, Celeron 533 CPU.

Hopefully someone here can help me as I don't want to have this running Linux and since our old server is now DEAD, I would prefer to use an old O/S I am more familiar with.


Cheers


Fred
