        After much frustration I finally found a way to make it work. Go into the BIOS, set the DVD drive to IDE and enable all of the VT options. Why it would be turned off and why it made a difference here is anyone’s guess. From there install 2003 R2 SP2 and be sure to install everything from the second disc when asked. From there install MagicISO, mount the 08 R2 Workstation image and run the upgrade. There were a few errors causing some things not to be installed, so far I noticed it didn’t change the taskbar or install files needed to customize the bootscreen, but that is an easy enough manual fix.

          That is odd indeed.

          The release I made was not intended to be used as upgrade but as fresh installation.

          On a fresh install you will get all what’s promised in post.

          N 🙂
