SBS 2003 Rebooting Loop

[mfroggie]

I had to reboot my server and now it just keeps rebooting after the Windows Screen comes up it reboots itself. I can't boot to CD to repair my windows install and I created Boot Disks per MS directions but won't boot from a: either. It just goes to Windows screen. Try to go into setup and it ignores F1, try to go to boot options with F8, ignores it also. It has a mind of its own. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

To use the CD or boot floppies, you'll need to tell the BIOS to look there before they use the hard drive. Sounds like the BIOS is set to look at the harddrive first in the boot order.

Usually a key like Del or Esc or F10 right after power on that gets you there. Check your server's hardware documentation.
