i contacted dell regarding said don't support 2003.

ws2003 quite old , unlikely to contain necessary ahci storage controller drivers such new machine.
may able use "f6" driver floppy disk method supply necessary driver during ws2003 setup.
(you need usb floppy disk drive, since machine doesn't have floppy drive. assuming machine can correctly handle usb-fdd)
this thread explains little more: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserversetup/thread/12fc8159-bca4-4e41-aa2c-304a3e213d16/

or, if have windows8pro, use client hyper-v run ws2003 inside vm?
if don't have win8pro, maybe use hypervisor virtualbox/etc?
