URGENT! Bad_Pool_Header stop error BSOD
Have Server 2003 Enterprise, not sure if sp1 has been applied or not, no way for me to check. Here's the deal.
Server had been running for about 60 days non-stop, no reboot or anything. Decided to give it a little lovin. Set all drives to run a chkdsk on the next reboot, and went ahead and rebooted it. Now, everytime it starts up, it runs chkdsk on all the drives, gets to Windows Desktop (I can at least see the mouse cursor), then it BSOD with this info:
Bad_Pool_Header
Stop 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0x8674D5E8, 0x8674D660, 0x0A0F0002)
I haven't watched to see if the 0x numbers in the parenthesis change at all, but I know the 0x19 does not.
Haven't installed any new hardware, and as far as I know, didn't install any updates. I have it to download updates, but to ask me to install them. What's the deal here??
Can't boot into safemode, it never makes it. It's been running for almost 30min now trying to get there. Last known good config does not work either.
Please help! This server serves EVERYTHING! E-mail, documents, quickbooks, autocad files. Basically the company goes down if the server goes down...
What a ride.

EDIT: Update, safe mode finally went almost all the way then bluescreened with same problem! Yikes!
Just to add a little more, it gets to windows shows the server 2003 "Your computer is starting up" or something like that, and right before it gets to the login prompt is when it bluescreens.

Maybe you should boot up to the recovery console and try disabling services. One of them may have become corrupted, so disable any that are not necessary for the system to function.

I have tried that, but as it also bluescreens in safemode, this is not the answer.

UPDATE: After a repair with the Server 2003 /sp1 cd, I'm now getting a registry_error bluescreen. I had made a backup of my registry files before hand, so I still have the originals just in case.
What I'm going to try now is a repair with Server 2003 no service packs, see if it makes a difference.
Any other suggestions?

Yup, it's a Dell PowerEdge. I'll check that out and get back to you. Right now it's working fine after doing a repair with a non-sp Win2003 disk. We were going to try and load sp1, but now I'm going to rethink that until I figure out this Dell problem. Thanks a lot marc, that may be the answer...
