Re: SBS 2000 Trashed

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

When I try to load SP4 from a CD it hangs and hangs, it says it is
inspecting, but it never returns. When I try to do a Windows update it goes
to the site and hangs there. I inherited this server from a previos IT
person who couldn't figure it out. Ultimately I am going to install SBS
2003 on a new server box, but I would like to migrate the old data.....
