SBS 2008 boot problems

Can you press F8 when it boots and select last known good config.?

if this fails I think you have a faulty device driver.

You will need to boot with an OS CD and disable the driver. lets see if last know config works first.

What hardware brand? Did it come with diagnostic utilities CD? Did you recently install anything? Can you press F8 and use Safe Mode? F8, disable automatic reboot on error to see the actual error?

systen config (sorry)
intel s5500bc  + zeon 2.27 E5520 + 8 gig ram (4 taken out due to not boot booting at all)
dose boot with 4gig   4 HD raid 1 (one dead (disko with boot bcd)  /removed /replaced)
 still rebuilding  / diskpart move bcd + active boot to mirror OK not starts to boot as above..

Replaced Video card (from on board) and got STOP C00002e2   / 0xc000000F.
replaced ntds from backup and looks OK . still boot error as above.

Yes can boot to F8 but all option lead to a black screen + mouse then reboot , read some were about VGA being a problem ???

Did you boot into DSRM and check logs?
http://utools.com/help/DSRM.asp

Were you in the process of installing a virtual server?

Tring this :-
sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:\windows

cecked for this Try  removing or renaming  x:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml  also on C:  (not there)

got this :-

      windows Resource protection could not perform the requested operation...

>> Did you boot into DSRM

I did and all disk came back  clean , but did not see the logs b4 moving on as they said clean.

may should have, will run again.

Looks like this is more common than just me with a problem.

Hi all

Well , going to change the NIC as a lott of people out there are pointing to IPV6 / nic problems
causing windows to lock just b4 the logon screen like this server
but not sure how to manual install the driver.  any idear would be great .
a

OK . install new NIC loaded drivers via sbs2008 repair option  

checked errors:-
unspecifed changed to system configuration migh have caused the problem
repair action system file integrity check & repair failed error code 0xa1

a

Well put all hardware back as should be   ie running off system board and still have the same problem
system shows F8 screen ok

safe mode load to crcdisk.sys - black screen with working mouse ..... 30 sec ... reboot

same for all other mode tried .  

Any one got any throught s please ?

Note:- on going Replacement HD (still rebuilding)
have diskpart to mirror for boot etc
 sfc/ scannow will not work (see above)
repair computer error 0xa1 (see above)


a

Bit of an odd one this :-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcpip6\Parameters\
 for tcpip6 is not there , should it be ?   (to enable/disable) just checking things.

HI All ,
well rebuilt the server as  two disks had gone in the same mirror only one held on long enought to backup some bits  ,not bootable & unable to repair the boot bcd  ,and just, just readable

these are seagate "BE WARE" there as some  out there that in the right condution die , normaly a  power related (UPS or not) problem. they are on way back to seagate as they have a 5yw. "es ns range" .
 with my foot prints on.  check you firmwares !
