I can not install WS2008

I have Server2003 installed and Have Virtual Server2005 SP1 with One Virtual
machine in Server2003 and when I try to install other machine with WS2008
RC1 the cd/dvd doesn't install.

Thanks

why use windows 2008 rc1, when it is available as a full-fledged product ?

Are you sure your running SP1? If I remember correctly, prior to SP1 Virtual
Server didn't support DVDs, although they unofficially supported large iso
files up to somewhere around 2.2 GB. I'm pretty sure the WIN2K8 disk is a
DVD.

Is the Win2K8 disk a physical disk, or just an iso? If it's an iso you might
want to use a virtual cd/dvd drive and load it and verify it's not corrupt.
If it's a physical disk, try creating an iso and installing it that way.
