Installing windows server 2003 eval onto partitioned Windows Home PC

Is it possible to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Eval onto a patitioned machine that runs Windows Home?

I have patitioned using PartitionMagic - but running the discs that I downloaded from MS.com informs me that I cant set this up.

Thanks
Faheem

Hi there - upgrade.

In the end I have simply upgraded to Windows Professional and then installed Virtual Server - my plan is to install windows server 2003 on that and try to then run sharepoint portal server to try out the new apps on that.

Cheers
