Zen (ST62K) and Windows 2003

I'm trying to setup a server for 2 in a home closet, and the 180Watt, quiet,
Shuttle Zen is looking very attractive. But can the Windows 2000 ATI 9100
IGP drivers on the Shuttle site (for lan, video, audio, usb 2.0) actually
work with Windows 2003.

Has anyone tried either a clean install of Windows 2003 and loaded these
driver, or a Windows 2000 install and a upgrade to 2003?

I think I can live without the audio, but all else seems fairly essential
for our work.

Thanks in advance for any experience shared. BTW: I have the same questions
outstanding to the Shuttle US sales team.

I just finished installing Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition on
my Zen and it seems to be working fine. However, I had tried to
upgrade Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 and during the
installation of devices the system kept crashing to a BSOD. The error
said "The driver is mismanaging system PTEs". I figured that this had
something to do with the Windows 2000 ATI drivers that were installed
for the video adapter. After sever failed attempts to resolve the
problem, I trashed the upgrade and ran a fresh install of Windows 2003
and the install was successful. I did install the XP audio and the SM
Bus drivers included on the Shuttle CD. But let Windows install the
LAN and video drivers. Hope that helps.

Thanks for taking the time, Adam. I think that this will work. I'll give
it a try.
