Note We recommend that you use the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
(SP1) x86-based Winnt32.exe file to install the x64-based operating system.
Install the x64-based version of Windows Server 2003 without the language pack
Requirements
- Base operating system
You must have an x86-based Windows PE startup disk
installed on the computer. Or you must have an x86-based Windows PE installed
on the computer. - Product keys
Two product keys are required. One product key is for
the x86-based Winnt32.exe file. The other product key is for the x64-based
operating system.
To install the x64-based version of Windows Server 2003 without
the language pack, follow these steps.
Note Steps 1 through 3 assume that the following conditions are true:
- H:\x86 contains the x86 folder content that is from the Windows Server
2003 SP1 integrated CD.
- I:\x64 contains the x64 folder content that is from the Windows Server
2003 original release version CD.
- The x64-based version of Windows Server 2003 is to be
installed on drive D.
- Restart the x86-based Windows PE.
- Run one of the following
commands at a command prompt,
based on your scenario:
- A computer has only one partition, such as C. If that partition is not a system partition, run the following command:
H:\x86\i386\Winnt32.exe /syspart:C /Makelocalsource:all /Noreboot /S:�i:\x64\Amd64�
- A computer has two partitions, such as C and D. If partition C is a system partition, and if you would like to install
the operating system on drive D, run the following command:
H:\x86\i386\Winnt32.exe /Tempdrive:D /Makelocalsource:all /Noreboot /S:�i:\x64\Amd64�
- A computer has two partitions, such as C and D. If neither of the partitions is a system partition, and if you would like to install the operating system on
drive D, run the following command:
H:\x86\i386\Winnt32.exe /syspart:C /Tempdrive:D /Makelocalsource:all /Noreboot /S:�i:\x64\Amd64�
- Before you exit the x86-based Windows PE, modify the
following entries in the %SystemDrive%\$WIN_NT$.~BT\Winnt.sif file:
- Under [UserData], modify the
ProductID entry so that the entry contains the product key for
the x64-based operating system installation.
Note Currently, the ProductID entry contains the
product key of the x86-based operating system that is located in the H:\x86 folder. - Under [UserData], modify the
ProductKey entry so that the entry contains the product key
for the x64-based operating system installation.
Note Currently, the ProductKey entry contains the
product key of the x86-based operating system that is located in the H:\x86 folder. - Exit the x86-based Windows PE.
- The computer restarts in text-mode Setup of the
x64-based operating system.
