2003 Server or 2003 Server R2? I doubt there's a difference but I have both
on the shelf here I could try one out an see what happens.

Disregard earlier post. I had to Ctl-Alt-Del at the black screen
stage. I changed the ACPI and the black screen disappeared! It now
gets stuck after the boot screen appears. It checks the files, indexes
and security then restarts. However, once it restarts, it goes right
back into checking the disk again. It's on the third cycle now.

Hmm, that's odd. Can you try Safe Mode? Press F8 similar to how you
did DEL, this should give you a menu to boot from.

Otherwise, you could try doing a repair installation via the CD, don't
select the first option to repair, but the second.
