HI Henry,
it doesn't get that far to boot into safemode. When it gets to scrolling
screen with the words "Windows Server 2003" Thats when it reboots. I just
did a parallel install and I can boot from the new partition. If I select
the old partition to boot in, it goes back to the continuous boot. Is there
a way to migrate the old partition to the new partition so I don't have to
continue with the todo list and everything else.
