2003 server won't boot

[hmdeassis]

My 2003 server has crashed.

The last know good option and safe mode is not working. I'm getting one the famous "stop 0x0000007" errors.

I have some good data on a NTFS partition however I'm not sure how I can get to the files on that partition. Do any of you know of any utility that allows me to boot into a dos/windows OS and allow me to get to those files?

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks

H

Learn linux folks, it will help you in your Microsoft Hive!!


Go grab the latest Ubuntu live cd. Pop it in and make sure you choose the "try ubuntu" option. This will load a fully functional linux environment into memory. You can network this to place you files elsewhere, or simply attach a USB external drive. As I will give you a lot here, I will rely on you to quickly learn how to configure the network once you are booted into the live desktop.

- Find "terminal"
- enter "fdisk -l" and look for your large ntfs partition it will be labeled like /dev/sda1 (you may have multiple ntfs partitions in which case you add them all)

Assuming you just have one (we will call it /dev/sda1) do the following:

- enter "su mkdir /server2003"
- enter "su mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /server2003 -o force"

Go back to the desktop and select "Places--Computer" and look for "server2003"

Grab your files

again if you have more than one ntfs partition (fdisk -l) add them all using different "su mkdir /name_goes_here"

example

/dev/sda1 can call it server2003
/dev/sda2 can call it server2003_2nd
etc...
