It was showing only windows 2003 server

So is there any other OS on your PC other than Windows Server 2003?

What exactly is the problem while logging in. Is your PC able to boot properly till the user login option screen? Or is it not going past the OS selection option while booting?

Please elaborate your issue clearly so that we can understand it perfectly and could provide you with proper solution

Read this article and see if it helps you in anyway to recover your data. If you are successful in recovering data on windows partition through Emergency Windows Rescue CD, you can then install fresh Windows server 2003 on that partition.

As you said your computer was previously running slow, it can be strongly assumed that the system was infected with some kind of malicious crap.

Since your windows partition contains some crucial data, direct format cannot be an option. I'll say, first try the way as Manish guided you and see if you can recover your data on that drive. Things then will be easier. Hopefully that works for you. Tell us if you are done or not

hi,

If you have another PC, connect this harddisk to that PC as slave and copy the data.
