windows server 2003 and inspiron 7000

im sorry if i didnt post this in the right place but im having a hard time with server 2003. i cant get it to install on my i7k, now if its just a limitation of how old the comp is thats fine, just tell me. but i want to know if itll work, because XP works, but when i try to install 2003 i get a blue screen right before it starts windows on the boot from the cd part. just before youd tell it where to install. im totally clueless nothing is working for me. please help.

    Server 2003 on a laptop huh.  I really have no room to talk.  I installed it on a latitude to use it as a temp print server once.  You do what you have to in order to get the users back online.  :)
     
    In any case...here's a link to MS.  It gives you the basic requirements.  I would also check the HCL to make sure all of your hardware is listed. 
     
     
    Does it load the system files once you tell it to boot from CD?  If it does it sounds like a hardware compatibility problem.
