server ran for 5 years. &nbsp;Failed over the weekend. &nbsp;Boots to Windows startup but stalls there.<br />
Restart, &nbsp;by pushing the button on the box, and F8 takes me to boot in Win safe mode.<br />
Files are OK. &nbsp;It just won't boot in normal Windows. &nbsp;I used to SYS a drive to resolve this. &nbsp;What do I do in SB server 2003? &nbsp; Thanks for your help.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
