If you are Mr Organized then you will have your system floppy disk at the ready. However if you need to create a disk then take a blank floppy to another Windows Server. COM and Boot. The secret of getting this floppy to boot the server is understanding Boot. If you have time you could add other lines to each with a different partition number. With a little care and trouble, you could make a boot.
If you have mirrored RAID disks then edit the boot. SolarWinds have produced three Active Directory add-ons. These free utilities have been approved by Microsoft, and will help to manage your domain by:. If you've ever tried to install Windows Server onto a mirrored hard disk, you know that it simply can't be done. Microsoft places the same restrictions on the Recovery Console. The other thing that you need to know is that although the Recovery Console can be used to repair Windows installations on both FAT and NTFS volumes, it uses a different set of files depending on the format of the boot partition.
If you were to install the Recovery Console onto a system running Windows on a FAT partition and then later converted the partition to NTFS, then if you ever try to access the Recovery Console, the system will lock up before it ever gets you to the command prompt. When you do, you will see a dialog box explaining that Windows will install the Recovery Console as a startup option and that the Recovery Console will consume 7 MB of disk space. Click Yes to continue with the installation.
When the installation completes, you will see a message indicating that installation of the Recovery Console has been successful. Now that you know how to install the Recovery Console, you can access it by rebooting the system and selecting the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console option from the boot menu. When you do, Windows will give you the opportunity to press [F6] if you need to load a third-party driver for your SCSI controller. If you don't press [F6], the Recovery console will continue to boot.
After a few seconds, you will see a screen asking you which Windows installation you would like to log into. Normally, there will only be one choice, but if your server happens to have multiple operating systems installed, you can select which operating system you want to work with. The reason why this is possible is because the Recovery Console isn't version specific.
It simply tries to detect any Windows installation that might exist on your hard disk. Select the installation that you wish to repair and press [Enter]. Windows will now prompt you for the Administrator's password. Keep in mind that Windows is asking for the password for the Administrator's account, not the password for someone who happens to be a member of the Administrators group.
At this point, you might be curious to do a little looking around and see exactly what you can access. One of the first things that you might notice is that the CD command Change Directory behaves strangely. By default, the CD command is restricted to allow you to move deeper into the directory structure, but not to let you backtrack. I have absolutely no idea what Microsoft's reasoning was behind this. What makes the restrictions on the CD command even stranger is the fact that Microsoft included a comparable command with fewer restrictions.
First, any time that you use CHDIR, or any other command, to access a file or folder with a long file name multiple words such as Program Files , the file or folder name must be placed in quotation marks. This leads me to the other quirk that you need to know about. It might seem strange not to have access to the entire system being that you are the Administrator, but as I explained earlier, Microsoft has seriously restricted access as a safety feature to protect your data in the event that you have to let someone else work on your server.
The System Information tool displays a comprehensive view of the computer's hardware, the system components, and the software environment. Use this tool to help identify possible problem devices and device conflicts by following these steps. If you identify a problem device, perform the appropriate action. For example, remove, disable, or reconfigure the device, or update the driver.
Then restart the computer in normal mode. If the computer starts correctly, that particular device may be the cause of the startup problem.
If you disabled a device to resolve the problem, make sure that the device is listed on the Windows Server Hardware Compatibility List HCL , and that it's installed correctly.
Also, contact the manufacturer to report the behavior and to obtain information about possible updates that can resolve the startup problem. Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice.
Microsoft doesn't guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. If no problem devices or device conflicts are reported by the System Information tool, look for programs that start automatically when Windows starts. To do so, follow these steps:.
For information about how to disable the program, see the program documentation or contact the manufacturer. If you disable the startup programs and the startup problem is resolved, enable the programs again, one at a time. Shut down and restart the computer every time that you enable a program, and note if the incorrect startup behavior occurs. If the behavior occurs, the last program that you enabled may be causing the incorrect startup behavior.
To troubleshoot startup issues, view the Ntbtlog. The log file lists devices and services that load and don't load when you start the computer in safe mode. You can use any text editor, such as Notepad, to open and view the log file. Use the list of drivers and services that didn't load at startup to help identify the possible cause of the startup problem.
Some startup problems may occur early in the startup process. In this scenario, Windows may not save the boot log file to the hard disk. Device Manager displays a graphical view of the hardware that is installed on your computer. Use this tool to resolve any possible device conflicts or to identify incompatible devices that may be the cause of the startup problem. The devices that are installed on your computer are listed in the right pane.
If a symbol is displayed next to a device, there may be a problem with the device. For example, a black exclamation point! Investigate possible device conflicts. To do so, double-click the device in the right pane, and then select the Resources tab. Note the Use automatic settings check box. If Windows successfully detects a device, this check box is selected, and the device functions correctly. However, if the resource settings are based on Basic Configuration n where n is any number from 0 to 9 , you may have to change the configuration.
To do so, either select a different basic configuration from the list or manually change the resource settings. Incorrect changes to the BIOS of the computer can result in serious problems.
Change the computer's CMOS settings at your own risk. If Windows can't resolve a resource conflict, verify that the computer is configured to allow Windows to enumerate the devices in the computer. To change the computer's BIOS settings, see the computer documentation or contact your computer manufacturer.
If the computer starts correctly, the device that you disabled may be the cause of the startup problem. For more information about how to configure devices in Device Manager, see How to use Device Manager to configure devices in Windows Server System Configuration Utility Msconfig.
You can use this tool to change the system configuration and troubleshoot the problem by using a process-of-elimination method. You must be logged on as Administrator or as a member of the administrative groups to use System Configuration Utility.
If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from using the utility. As a security best practice, consider using the Run as command to perform these procedures. We recommend that you don't use System Configuration Utility to modify the Boot.
