Windows Server 2008 Installation on Dell Optiplex 745

written by Justin on Thursday, May 22 2008

Mostly for fun, I installed Windows Server 2008 x64 on my Dell Optiplex 745 tonight.  It is an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz, 2 GB RAM, WD Raptor 74GB, with a Pioneer DVR-212D DVD burner.

Started Windows 2008 Enterprise x64 install @ 12:26am
91% expanding files @ 12:33am
Reboot @ 12:34am
Completing installation @ 12:36am
Reboot @ 12:39am
Logon screen / changed password @ 12:40am
Start menu opened @ 12:41am

Zero to OS menu in 15 minutes flat.  Nice.
