I have an SBS 2003 Premium system that had bad sectors on the drive.
The system would freeze if there was too much disk activity.
Anyway, I ran chkdsk and after ten hours it supposedly fixed the bad
sectors. However, now the system is stuck in a reboot loop. It brings
up the black Windows 2003 screen, and then reboots. At least before
the system booted up.
Any help?- Hide quoted text -

The computer guys supposedly setup a mirror. Unfortunately, the RAID
controller card was just being used as a hard drive interface with
master and slave. They never setup an actual array.
I have an 80GB drive. For months the event viewer has been showing
drive problems. No one ever did anything about it. Then users started
to complain about slowness and freezing.
I used Acronis to try and clone the drive. I stated that there were
unreadable clusters. So I ran chkdsk. It finished after ten hours, and
then got stuck in reboot hell.
The worst part is that the system runs medical billing software that
is in 4 parts. One application runs on SQL. The other runs on Oracle.
Then there are two other components. The app. was installed 5 years
ago so NO ONE has any idea where the software is. At this point I'm
thinking of just reinstalling the o/s on a new drive, and copying over
what I can. Then on Monday I'll have to rebuild the entire domain.
Unless I can stop the rebooting, fix the bad sectors, and clone it.
I've spent so much time on this already that I'm almost resigned to a
reinstall.
Logician for EMR. We set up our server with a C: for the OS. A
dedicated drive for the Oracle and a dedicated partition for the SQL.
Have you tried to run a repair on the OS? In theory you can fix the OS
booting problem.
Have you booted from your Bart PE so you can at least copy your SQL
and Oracle data to another hard drive? Also make sure you copy and
customization stuff.
It sound like if you get this server up and running you really need it
to be set up properly. IDE for a doctors office that is heavily used
is dicely. If you have a one doc office with 3 employees using just
SQL or Oracle alone might be ok with IDE but not running both and
certainly not without running hardware raid.
