Re: Systems Build and Update Utility - Rejects MS Action Pack OS Disk
I have used the Systems Management Tools & Documentation DVD until it asked me to insert the OS disk. I had selected Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 earlier in the wizard and inserted an OS DVD of this type from a MS Partners - Action Pack disk set. However it was repeatedly rejected by the Systems Build and Update Utility as "not a valid disk".
I got the pop up message: "system build and update utility valid microsoft windows server 2008 was not found, please insert a valid 2008 DVD in the DVD Rom"
I have also tried to reboot from the MS 2008 server DVD itself. ie boot from MS 2008 DVD it doesn't work, please assist me
Thank you

Glad you got it sorted. You might just double check your drive, as it may just be a CD drive (no DVD) ... or perhaps the DVD was not properly created using the ISO (?). Anyway ... take care.
Thank you very much, I have checked the DVD drive and its showing, might be the iso was not created properly. I used Power ISO, and I have used it before to generate a bootable disc. Actually, its the evaluation copy. Do you also know any good one thats free?

I like ISORecorder, which works just like the built-in Windows 7 utility. I have also had good luck with CDBurnerXP.

You must use a "standard" OEM, Retail, or VL installation DVD with SMTD/SBUU. When you say it "doesn't work" when booting directly from the OS DVD, what do you mean?
