Resolved Windows Server 2003 Repaired using wrong cd

Hi All,


Today i scanned my windows server 2003 x86 enterprise system using kaspersky anti-virus and once it rebooted it crashed with a blue screen before reaching ctrl+alt+del screen.

I tried to repair the system using a cd (windows server 2003 x64 bit). During repair it crashed again with another blue screen error.

So now whenever the server starts up it goes to the setup screen asking for a cd.


Is it possible for me to revert the system back to the old state if i use the correct cd.

or is there any way i can undo the changes made by using the wrong cd ?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Arun

 

When i start the server it takes to me screen installing windows and asks for a cd. Next blue screen appears and it crashes.

Please check the link below() . This is the same screen what i see.

If that is exactly what you're seeing, that's your problem... That's an XP setup screen. Not remotely Server 2K3... You've booted from the wrong CD, and I doubt that your server (if a real server box) will 1: allow a desktop OS to be installed on it, and B: that XP disk will not be able to see your hard drives at all! No SCSI/RAID drivers for a server backplane will be included!

What's the hardware you have?

Additionally... I think the damage MIGHT have been done with the Kaspersky disk. If it's not specifically stated as server compatible, you dinged a file somewhere. But Arie's right... I've tried on purpose to repair systems with "wrong" media, and the effort's refused. I hope you had a backup, and I hope you're free this weekend!

 

Thankyou all for the support. I cloned the harddisk nd the issue is sorted out.
