![]() After some time I found out the problem: I accidentally created an extended partition for 4051 with DiskDrake. I rebooted using the Longhorn CD, only to encounter, after two thirds of the install, an error, stating that Windows Install could not initiate the third stage of the install. I created a partition for this new build using DiskDrake in my main OS, Mandrake 9.2. The first problem I encountered can be seen as my own fault, but, on the other hand, also as a shortcoming from Microsoft’s side.

Thus, I was very interested in the new 4051 build.
