hi,

* is the image exported from another hypervisor?

* what does the configuration file for the VM look like? qm config VMID

* and why do you need windows server 2003? :)

I have to do a security test
 
okay :)

have you tried changing the boot order to have the CD-ROM on top? (you can do this in the GUI in the "Options" menu for that VM).

also might make sense to set the OS type to Windows Server 2003 instead of Linux :)

hope this helps.
 
i tested a fresh install of windows server 2003 with the Guest-Os Settings: Microsoft Windows and XP/2003 and it worked out of the box.

according to your configuration, the harddisk is attached as scsi-disk. maybe this is adriver problem. try to detach the hdd and reattach it as IDE-Drive. after this, you have to go to the VM "options" menu and "boot order" and activate the ide drive and move it to the top of the boot order.
