Help! Server crash!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.setup (More info?)

yesterday pm our NT 4.0 server crashed. spent most of the
last 24 hours trying to get it back up. Problems. 1) When
I boot from the setup disk, setup barfs on disk #2 and
blue screens. 2) I've tried alot of differnt things I
found online from MS and others to no avail. 3) I've gone
through all sorts of tech refs and now i'm just looking
for advice from folks who've been through it. I don't want
to lose the data on the drive if posible. thanx.

Have you tried booting up the CD instead of the Diskette,
and/or have you tried simply making a new copy of the
floppy diskette, or cleaning the floppy drive out?
You can recreate boot diskettes by going to any computer
running Windows or DOS, change to the CD-ROM, cd to i386,
and type: winnt32 /ox or winnt /ox (for MS-DOS).
If you can, boot the CD-ROM instead, it's much faster.
