Just out of curiosity; why are you installing Server 2008 on a laptop? The answer below is correct, you cannot perform an "upgrade install" from Windows 7 to Server 2008. – akseli Nov 30 '10 at 14:42

I don't believe so, since this is the "Server" edition of Windows. If you were running Windows Server 2003 then I could see this happening. You'll have to install from scratch.
