I have a Windows 2003 machine and a Windows 2000 machine. I connected
the two with a file-transfer cable -- female connectors on both ends.
There is hyperterminal installed on Windows 2003 machine. When I run
the hyperterminal on Windows 2003, the status bar shows that the COM1
portis connected. I've also set the ASCII settings to echo. However,
no response from the Win2k machine. Basically, the Win2k is not
booting because the C: drive is full. I want to delete some files on
the C: drive on Win2k and make it boot.
Can someone please help troubleshoot this problem?
Found the following in an old post
Normally you would use aserialcable from a computerserialport to a
modem for example and a null modem cable from a computerSerialPortto
another computerSerialport.
Is this still valid for windows servers?
Also boot.ini was mentioned in a couple of posts. What do you do when
a Win2k server won't boot 'cos the c: drive has 0 bytes free?
Looked up null modem cable:

Is there a diff between a file-transfer cable and a null-modem cable?
The latter is 1/5th the price I paid.
Thanks
Here is an old post which reflects my current predicament except for
boot.ini
I remember hearing that you could manage your Server 2003 machine through a
serial port via a terminal. How true is it? What are the limitations? and
how do you set it up? I have an ascii terminal connected to COM1. The
communications settings are setup for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, one
stop bit and no handshaking. I used bootcfg to setup debug and ems, which
make changes to the boot.ini file, but I get nothing on the console when the
machine boots. What exactly are you supposed to be able do do through an
ascii terminal hooked up to the server?
Thanks, Mike Lawson
