asked on vm won't start
I have a virtual server that i rebooted for windows updates. I also wanted to increase the hardware. I upped the memory and increased the number of CPUs. Now the machine will not boot. I tried resetting the hardware specs to the original configuration and it still will not boot. What can I do to bring up this sever?

What are the errors you are receiving?
ASKER
no errors. it is at the windows server 2003 window and the boxes crawl accross the screen but it does not go to the loading OS screen and the log on screen.
Can you F8 in safemode and check the event logs for errors that may point to a driver issue or perhaps the patching caused the issue?
Assuming you didn't snapshot it before you applied the updates?
