It's been a rough nite.....
I had one of my servers give me fits last night to the point of putting in a backup. I came in on the holiday to do some maintenance and when I rebooted this server ( it's had a great uptime )it goes through the normal boot sequence, but hangs at the "Starting WIndows.." screen with a solid white bar at the bottom and all disk activity stops.
Safe mode does the same as well as last known config.
It's not a hardware problem with the server as I can put another hdd in it and all is well. The hdd doesn't seem to be screaming at me so I am assuming that the hdd isn't physically bad.
Could anyone recommend a tool to maybe boot in to to see what's up? I'm really not thinking straight after just a few hours of sleep.
Thanks guys
