Apparently someone really doesn't want me to have a server!

After so much arsing around, i've cobbled together (yet another) working computer from two. I HATE changing motherboards with a passion. Especially when it involves taking everything else out

Franken-computer works fine, except battery has died in the mobo so i have to keep power flowing, not really a problem per se (BIOS default settings work anyway).

But when it comes to Windows Home Server (don't ask i've been down this road with DRZ, i'd love ubuntu, but its not doing what i need it to do on a few counts). The damned thing is blue screening after the loading bar of the ****ing boot installer! I'm burning off another copy as we speak, and downloading another off usenet (that'll be about 2 hours wait then on my connection

) to rule those out. Though i'd ask here at the same time though

. Any ideas/fixes? I'll go write down the error code if thats any help shortly (i was just annoyed and cba before...). Also for clarity i've only plugged the one hard drive i need in for the moment, so its pretty much a bare PC...

*Stomps feet* I just want a working print, media, backup server
