I can't tell from this thread what exactly you're trying to do but the
symptoms you describe are consistent with a drive letter change.

| Hello:

| I recently installed the Server 2003 Enterprise in my 32 bit HT computer,

with
| Windows XP in another, the Windows bootloader got configured in XP with
| default system the Server. So "boot.ini looked like this:
| %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
| [boot loader]
| timeout=30
| default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
| [operating systems]
| multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,
| Enterprise" /fastdetect
| multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
| Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
| %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
| As I have an external boot loader, I wanted to "disentangle" the Windows
| boot loader so that each OS would boot on its own. So, I converted the
| "boot.ini" of WinXP to:
| %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
| [boot loader]
| timeout=30
| default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
| [operating systems]
| multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
| Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
| %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
| And the one of the Server to:
| %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
| [boot loader]
| timeout=30
| default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
| [operating systems]
| multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,
| Enterprise" /fastdetect
| %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
| I copied Io.sys, Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, MSDOS.sys, all empty docuents,
| and ntldr and NTDETECT.com, from Windows to to the root directory of the
| Server.
|
| The problem is that the Server starts booting and when it prompts for
| pressing cont+alt+del and then entring the Administrator password, it
returns
| to me to presss cont+alt+del again and again.
|
| The first time I did this some months ago, I found the cure, but I cannot
| remember what it was. I will appreciate any feedback to help me boot.
