I'm prob not the qualified on this thread as I've not recovered a box post sp1 ...If you are on SP1.... and you are using non SP1 media... you are going to have fun. That might be what you are seeing.

I know in our backup/restore documents post SP1 you must apply the SP1 first before doing the rest of the recovery process.

I think the info is in here:
Download details: Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003:

Yuck.

I thought so.  Dell?  Lemme go google on the KB that talks about how they have 
a funky method to get into that recovery console.

<http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs/browse_frm/thread/311579f9ee8258a7/cd4f4f6e45b83d06?lnk=st&q=del

Small Business Server 2003 installation starts automatically when you try to 
start the Recovery Console from the Dell OEM version of
the Small Business Server 2003 CD:

Also are you SP1 or pre SP1?

Oh and how good are your backups just in case?

That's not an OEM is it?

HI all,


I have a major issue with a SBS 2k3 server. It hang this morning and after a hard reset i get the message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

Winnt_root\System32\Ntoskrnl.exe

Please re-install a copy of the above file.

I tried acessing recovery mode and set it back but i cant access any files...i even tried to set the boot.ini file back...doesnt work either: access denied......

In recovery mode i can see the files by the dir command but cant change anything.
Tried registry repair utility: same message access denied

At last i tried a parallel install prior to rebuilding the operating system...but after selecting a new folder on the harddrive for that installation it stops when examining harddrive (25 %).


Its a raid 1 (mirror) array....all i can think off now is that there is 
something wrong with the partitions / array.



Pls help.

Thx Jorre
