Running another install into MSVirtualServer R2 SP1 just now with an old iso had lying around (20070329) and I misremembered. Disk dma had to be on, otherwise you get lots of i/o errors. It is the copydist that takes forever. I'll post back once I got it all up. I may try it with the latest iso as well. Robby
