Does anybody have any idea how to solve my problem? When i try to boot in normal mode there is an error message saying the directory service can't be started...then, when i check the integrity of the files with ntdsutil some errors occure, the last one being "E:\winnt\ntds\ntds.dit file does not exist"... it must be possible to create a new empty ntds.dit file...or any other solution!!
