Todd -----Original Message----- From: John Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Server. 2003 recovery console I have a 2003 server that went belly up over the weekend. It has some proprietary software I'd rather not reinstall if possible. I've gone into the r console and tried chkdsk \r. As well as fixboot but it still gets to the windows splash and reboots.
