Problem starting Windows 2000
This is what happend:
1. The machine had a lot of disk activity.
I restart the computer.
2. Before the login i have an exception in
lvchost.exe. Click return to end process and cancel to debug.
I press return.
3. Then an exception in lsass.dll is made and when i press return to end the process i get a dialogbox that restarts the server in about 40 seconds.
I restart the computer and if i run it again the same thing happends. If i run in safemode with network the same thing happends. If i run in safemode without network the lvchost.exe fails but i can access the computer.
How can i fix this problem ?

try to run in safe mode without network, and upgrade to SP2. see what happens.
Try re-registering that DLL file and then reboot the server.

I found the sevicepack 2 and are downloading it right now. Lucky me that I have fast connection and that I have cd-burner or else I would have to split the file and copy it to 90 floppy disks :-).
About the re-register the dll. What good would that do if the lvchost.exe fails ?
Does the Windows 2000 installation CD have the option to repair a damaged Windows 2000 system ? If so then i could perhaps do that. If not what would happend if i reinstall Windows 2000 ?

Sorry for the refresh.
When i tried to install the service pack i got the svchost.exe error again and then it stopped. What shall i do ?

Do a reinstall, but when you get to the screen asking whether to reinstall or perform a repair of the existing, then run repair.

I don't have the option to repair.

The repair option isn't immediate, it occurs right after the system examiniation.
ASKER
I found it now. Thanks! (just around the corner :-) )
I don't know how to fix this with Recovery Console.
Could you help me ?
I try the other option meanwhile.

The other option just goes round in a loop and don't fix the problem.

Please help me.

Removable database storage - It appears that you may have something for removable storage that is damaged, or maybe a driver problem.
ASKER
What should i do ?

Disable the service and see how the server responds. If it's okay, then reinstall the service to fix it.
ASKER
I have disabled the Removable Storage, but the error is still there. Sorry!
/Andla
/Andla
Do you have any third party removable storage drivers or software installed?

I have a sofware called formweb witch I have disabled. And I have the SQL server 7.0 installed. I have timbuktu and VNC. But i'm not sure if this will help. Because when I start in safe mode the svchost.exe error still occure and when I take a look in the services I can se that almost all services are not running. A good advice that should be well documented is if there is a lot of diskactivity in the background then don't restart the computer until it silences. Well I regret that I restarted the computer I should have waited a little longer.
I suppose that only the most important services are running in safe mode and svchost.exe hosts services. Maybe I can try to disable one by one that are running in safe mode and se what the result will be ?
