For Windows Server 2003, the PAE option can be specified by editing the Boot.ini file. The following shows

2. Double-click the System icon in the Control Panel window.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
3. Select the Advanced tab, and then click [Settings] under Startup and Recovery.
4. Click [Edit] in the System startup area on the Startup and Recovery dialog box, and then open the
Boot.ini file.
5. Add /PAE to operating systems, and then save the Boot.ini file.
Boot.ini example:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003"
/fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,
PAE" /fastdetect /PAE
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console"/cmdcons
Editing of the Boot.ini file is now complete.
