Good afternoon all,

Due to lack of funds and on overwhelming amount of need, I am trying to utilize a piece of equipment that doesn't have a role. The machine is a Core 2 Duo machine with 4GB of RAM and running Win-10 64-bit. The RAM will be upgraded eventually if I can get either Win2K3 or Win2k8 installed.

When I get the VDI or VHD set up and I attempt to install, I always get a message that states: this system is not a supported platform.

I have spent hours on Google and cannot find a solution. So I have resorted to you all for this issue. I don't know where to begin, I cannot find anything in the settings that allow me to change BIOS settings.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Alright, I have attached it. What are we looking for?

Neither guest you asked about are actually WindowsNT. You need to select the right guest type.
Your processor does not support hardware virtualization. http://ark.intel.com/products/30781/Int ... 00-MHz-FSB
You can not run 64-bit guests and 32-bit guests will be slow.

There's no specific option to install server software, so I've done the "other windows" option, which does work. Note; that I have used this option before within a Workstation that had Win2K3 server on it. Also note that I have Win-7 32-bit on this same machine.

I am aware that running 32-bit guest systems on a 64-bit host systems can slow the overall performance, but unfortunately, Vbox doesn't give an option for 64-bit systems.

Perry already told you that your machine is not capable od running 64-bit guests. If it was you would be offered the 64-bit options. No point in offering things you cannot use.

You should be able to install Windows server 2003 using the windows 2003 32bit profile if you use the 32-bit installation media.
