Unless you've got a specific reason to run OpenVMS 8.4 for an Alphaserver
1000A I'd recommend a version more in keeping with the age of the machine,
either a variant of 7.3 or something earlier.
How much memory do you have installed?
Regards, Mark.

install VMS 8.4 - hobbyist
license from CD.
So, I went to the folder on my PC where I have the 8.4 hobbyist
distribution. There are 3 ISO files; ALPHA084, ALPHA084LP1 and ALPHA084LP2.
I thought I would burn these to CD and up and away. However, Windows 7
balks and says, 'The selected disc image file isn't valid'.
Is it Windows 7 or is there something I'm missing? Is the CD on the
Alphaserver 2048 byte block size or 512?
