Was it not my request of the boot.ini contents that pointed you in the right direction?<br />
I checking your disk &amp;&nbsp;boot order would have been my next advise as well.<br />

Hi, , I was looking at the boot.ini several time, I send it because you asked. I just restart my diagnostic process from scratch and I look at my Bios and I found my problem. <br />
<br />
THanks for your input. If it's just for the points I don't care to give it. But I will let the Moderator take the final decision. Because the real answer was a Bios configuration problem.<br />
<br />
I can understand your objection because my comment was not really complete.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your fast answer, <br />
<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
My Windows 2003 server is not booting up &quot;Operating system not found&quot;<br />
<br />
Everytime I run the bootcfg /add or /rebuit, I received : Failed to add the selected boot entry. I try renaming the boot.ini to boot.old to create a new file, still the same. <br />
<br />
I run a fixboot and fixmbr. Still the same<br />
<br />
Any idea ?

Windows 2003 : Bootcfg Failed to add the selected boot entry to the boot list

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).

Windows Server 2003

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
