In this case it was a Small Business Server 2003, and the OEM disk didn't include the recovery console, which is something I'll be taking back to the OEM vendor. I did get my hands on a retail edition though, which does include the recovery console which fixed the master boot record.
It actually happened to my own system quite some time ago as well, and the hard drives in that system are still running without issue, so I'm not sure it is the hard drive burning out either.

Not sure what it could be then. I've never had that problem with any of my hard drives before, and I've had them for about 5 to 6 years so far. Glad to try to help you, though.
Code pre-built is code that you don't have to build later.

Could you post more detailed information about that? How many users are using the OS? How the issue manifested (blue-screen, reboot or something). What kind of applications have you installed?

The first one a while ago was simply a single system, that had a heap of programs installed under Win XP. It was fine the night before, and when it went to startup the following day, the operating system not found message appeared.
The second time around, and the most recent, was an SBS 2003 R2 box, which was only less than a month old, and was shut down in order to install a UPS. Once connected to the UPS, the machine was restarted, and the operating system not found message appeared. In this instance, it only acts as a server, no user at the console, has the standard SBS stuff installed - SQL, Exchange etc., and not much, if anything else is installed, but has not more than 15 or 20 users accessing it.
Therefore, about the only commonality I've been able to see is that both have occurred on a shutdown, but I don't know if the partition table was cleared before shutdown, during shutdown or on the restart.

I guess you're using NTFS. In your case I would try to isolate the issue somehow. For example try to disable the swap file, disk caching, etc. It's nasty if you don't know how to reproduce the issue. Maybe you could experiment with a cloned partition on another machine. Or the disk in another machine. I would like to know the causes of this, so if you find out anything please post it.

No.
You didn't give any information that could help in solving the problem. Read this document: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html[^]

The problem is that, the installation process would start alright but gets stuck on the way (about half way through),that is, in the course of copying files, and eventually fails.

|
|
|
|
Have you set the memory requirements as per the instructions on the fedora manual? The swap, boot requirements, root...etc

How can we with the crap information you gave? No particular error message or anything like that, leaves it to being anyone's guess.

Hi all,
I have purchased a new Desktop with 320GB SATA 3.0 Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing. I would like to know can i install window2000 into this desktop?

Why wouldn't you be able to? It's just a hard drive. Otherwise I'm not sure what you are asking...

Hi,
If your question is related with installation of Windows 2000 only then you can go ahead and install it on SATA Hard Disk. There would not be an issue with that.
Hope this help

If the system is in ATA-compatible mode the SATA controller and disk look like regular IDE disks to the BIOS and to Windows. There are no problems with this.
However, to make use of features like Native Command Queueing, the new Advanced Controller Host Interface (AHCI) mode is required. If this mode is enabled, Windows needs a driver in order to be able to read the disk. (This is also true of SCSI disks and controllers, RAID controllers and any additional IDE controllers that aren't at the standard locations.) Also, if booting from that disk, it requires a copy of the driver named ntbootdd.sys in the same location as ntldr and boot.ini (typically the root of drive C). If the right driver to access the hard disk isn't available and the built-in support doesn't work, Windows will blue-screen with an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE code.
Windows 2000 and XP require a floppy disk to be made available at setup time to provide additional storage drivers. You have to press a key when prompted (F6, from memory) to tell Setup that you want to load additional drivers. Some new systems - which generally don't come with floppy drives - can pretend that a USB memory key is a floppy drive for this purpose.
I'd stick with ATA-compatible mode unless you have good reason to select AHCI mode. AHCI may not even be an option in your BIOS setup - my Dell system doesn't allow it to be selected.

You could do a check on the Dell site to see if there are drivers for your specific model.

Hi, I have a problem with my machine running windows server 2003. I forget that what I make change to the system. The problem is when I log on to my system as an administrator, its display the message box Missing hardware ID. After that, the system shutdown like power is disconnected. I don't know what is the cause of the problem. Because the electricity is not disconnect. I start the system again and try to view an event veiwer and found it's stated that "Unexpected shutdown". Then the system shutdown as I mention above.
Then I try to reinstall windows 2003 again. I pass the text mode, partition, format... but I get stuck when it display the screen about installing device driver. When the time decrease to 34 min, the screen stop responding and the hard disk is not running. I don't know what is the cause of the problem. Could anyone suggest me any point that I could check to solve the problem?
Thank in advance.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to change the idle timeout of a new RDP session when it's at the login screen. There is tons of documentation on idle timeouts for an active session, but this is not the same thing.
When you open a remote desktop client, and enter the terminal server address of your choice (w/o credentials) and hit connect. It of course prompts you for your credentials at this point. For several reasons I need to keep this screen open indefinitely instead of disconnecting after 20seconds or so.
I have noticed that it's different by default on different Microsoft OSes. Some are 20s, 30s, 2min. I've been trawling the the registry and MSDN all day today and still cannot find anything about this.
Does anyone know anything about this or if it's even possible?
Thanks!

After further research, it appears this is not any sort of registry entry. You need to customize GINA and look at the WlxSetTimeout function.
