    I got a CD from a trade with some other stuff. The guy that gave it to me said it was a Server 2003 CD. I looked at it and was confused because it says XP Pro x64, then lower it says Server. Could anyone tell me what it is, and what it's worth? I want to get some money back from that trade because the guy kind ripped me off, and I have no use for a 64bit OS.

    Why not try booting your computer up with the CD in, and see if it gives you the option to install both Server 2003 and XP 64? I know a friend who slipstreamed two OS's onto an install disk so he can readily dual boot, although this one looks like it came straight from MS.

    I don't have a 64bit processor in any of my PCs, so if I put it in the drive it just comes up with the message "Your system is not compatible with this software" or something like that. I can browse, but the Read Me has info on both XP Pro x64 and Server 2003. Could it be a CD with both on it?
