When did you update the array drivers? The error indicates one of the drivers is incompatible with Server 2003. Try doing an in-place upgrade. This gives you a chance to replace the array drivers with the correct ones. Reboot the server with a Server 2003 CD, when the setup starts, watch the screen and press F6 and install the correct drivers for the array. You will have to get the drivers on to a floppy drive. If the server doesn't have a FD use a USB floppy disk drive to make this happen. See this Microsoft article for help: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;816579 HTH, Tom

It stops at acpitabl.dat when you when you choose to boot from safe mode - any option. . If you choose the normal boot process, it shows the boot screen for forever and never gets to the login screen. The server is an HP Proliant ML350 G5. I have updated the storage array and bios drivers to the latest versions. I have also taken out the memory and used each DIMM seperately. None of this helped. Any ideas out there? My last option is to perform an in-place upgrade. How will this impact on my AD database? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
