Microsoft Windows Server 2008 beta

Moved from "How to"

I'm in the middle of trying to install Win2k8 Web Server edition under Mac OS 10.4.9, and so far I'm not getting past the initial file load.
I end up with a screen that states:

Code:

Status: 0xc0000225
Info: Windows failed to load because the firmware (BIOS) is not ACPI compatible.

The option to "Continue" is available, which takes you to the Windows Boot Manager selection screen, but selecting "Windows Setup" presents the previous error screen again.

I will be researching this and posting hints as I go along.

"Uh, so, uh, anything you can do to, uh, to help, would be... very... helpful..."

And because screencaps are easy:

 

What are you setting the vm OS to? Choose Windows Vista and see how it works out, as Vista requires ACPI as well...
