Hi Guys

I am having a big problem.
My Windows 2000 Server is not Booting up.
Its the Domain Controller.
At the Start up Its freezing at "Preparing Network Connections". When Iam trying to login through
Safe Mode its giving me the error, "Directory Services
Could not be started because Hard Drive is full, Please
log into Directory Services Restore Mode".
Unfortunately I don't have The password for
Directory Services. But I have the Domain Controller
Password which is not working.
Please help me ,Is there any way can we break
Directory Services Password. I contacted Microsoft also
But they could not help me.
 
Start window in safe mode, command prompt, goto C: drive and delete some non IMPORTANT files (don't delete system files :) )
and restart. Copy to another drive if you are not sure before deleting.

Put alarm next time when diskdrive is 90 full.
