It's a diag floppy/cdrom, you don't need windows... except to expand it to the media.
Read at least the url!
Rudi, you have a strange attitude:
- you ask for help for hardware issue
- that is nearly off topic here
- there not much people can help you with but giving advices
- most of these advices, you choose to ignore (fine with me)
if your hardware fails, replace it, bug your vendor there is nothing more to say.

Tru,
The hardware works, but the moment I start running server based application (i.e. XEN VPS's), then the load goes very high. I'm running CentOS Linux on it, and was thinking this would be a great place to get help, but I can see that I'm wrong, since the hardware that I chose to use (and can afford in my country) is clearly not the right choice of hardware to use.
And although you're right in saying that a hardware problem is off-topic, I need a way to prove to the suppliers that it is in fact a problem with the hardware. Since everything works fine when you switch it on, yet when I start-up the XEN virtual machines, the load goed exsesively high. I have reinstalled the OS, but since I use yum to update to the latest version of everything, it could very well be a OS / kernel / software bug as well. I don't know, and I was hoping to get some insight on it from this list.
My other choice is to go and purchase Windows & install it, to see what happens. Then, if the same problem persists I can say it's hardware, if not, then it's software related.
Sorry for sounding so rude in my earlier posts, I just spend 3 days without sleep @ the datacentre trying to sort this out, and I need to tell my clients why the machine performs so poorly compared to the previous one which only has a Core 2 Dou CPU with 4GB RAM in it. See my problem?

Oh, and don't take this the wrong way, but the link to a microsoft related program (in my opinion) is even more OT. Isn't there something similar for Linux that I can use? I'd prefer not to go the Windows route, if that's ok with you.
