dennis,

You cannot upgrade from a Desktop OS to a Server OS.
You will need to do a clean install of Windows Server 2003.

Hi Dennis!
Windows 2003 is a sever Operating System where as Windows XP is a
Desktop Operating system.So you cannot upgrade from Win XP to Win
2003.What you have to do is clean install Windows 2003 Server.
