- Check the folder for the servicepack "$NTServicePackUninstall$" ....
- Change the folder to c:\windows\$NTServicePackUninstall$\spuninst>....
- Run the batch file to uninstall the service
pack.....c:\windows\$NTServicePackUninstall$\spuninst> batch spuninst.txt...
- File replace takes palce and and completes successfully....exit and
reboot in
Normal mode.....
- If it boots up thats well and good ...But system may be sluggish....
- If it does not come up than we may need to continue troubleshooting....
Once again Boot / Logon to Recovery console using a Windows 2003 Server
disc....after installing the drivers for RAID 4/Di....
- Move to the system32\config folder and rename the system hives.... (If
its a
Doamin Controller)
cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren software software.old
ren SAM SAM.old
ren security security.old
ren default default.old
-- Before the Service Pack install starts : It backs up the system and
software
hives with an extension of "*.sp"
- Copy all the hives one by one.....
Copy software.sp software
Copy system.sp system
Copy sam.old sam
Copy security.old security
Copy default.old default
- Reboot back to the Normal mode of windows 2003 and skip any disk checks
it says
to.....
I Suggest you to perform a Flash BIOS update and then install SP1 from the
local computer.....
Let me know if this helps...It SHOULD !!! :-)
