I have a same issue with a slight change in taste
Mine is Pentium M laptop and the cd isn't working at all.
Ubuntu is installed and working fine.
I need to install Windows server 2003 in one of the empty partitions and my "old" laptop doesn't support booting from USB.
What I thought i will install virtualbox and use one of my partitions as a virtual disk.
I created the virtual disk of my partition with
Now however once I boot from Win2K3 CD all things work fine till I select the partition where I have to install win2k3 (in that blue screen). After which it asks to format and doesn't format because of SCSI adapter issue (according to google).
So is there some other way to inject Win2k3 into one of my partitions without USB boot and a working CD.
I cant buy a USB CD-Rom because I am poor (no wonder why would I be using Pentium M still if i wasn't poor)
I have tried changing LSIlogic and Buslogic and played around with no success
Please help me,
Thanks.
