Repair that Windows server system cannot start

Objective

A Compaq old server with 2 18G SCSI and 1 73G SCSI hard drives installed on the operating system for Windows SERVER SP4 Simplified Chinese version, 2 18G SCSI RAID1 (mirror volume) for dynamic disks, As a Sybase database server.

Because of the long service life, in the earlier one of the 18G hard drive has produced a bad road, the other 18G of the hard drive is also a problem, so the operating system crashes.

The database exists in a 2 18G hard disk, and its backup exists on the 73G hard disk.

Backup data lag, customer requirements to restore the system as much as possible.

Sybase Setup could not be found.

The data needs to be recovered while the original system is repaired.

[Processing process]

1, the data recovery process is very simple, the use of professional tools to mirror the bad hard drive, the successful interpretation of the file system, the file export.

2, because can only find a piece can install the system of hard disk, coupled with time emergency, first test directly repair a hard disk, using a dynamic disk boot system. As a result, the system fails to boot C at startup (without any hint, it seems that the MBR code is not executing, because time is urgent and no detailed analysis is done).

3, the test will be another one of the system's hard disk image cloning to the only good hard drive, boot system, found that too many bad way, the system error.

4, compared to the original two hard disk, found that the partition structure is not the same, only used to boot the operating system of the same size of the boot partition, did the RAID1, at the same time because the zoning order is not the same, the boot partition boot.ini described in the boot device (partition label) does not match

5, the correction Boot.ini, simultaneously utilizes two system disks to merge a good system disk, starts the system, does not succeed.

6, change the dynamic disk back to the basic disk, start the system again, you can enter the interface, but login and return to the login interface, still unable to enter the system.

7. On another Windows 2003 mount the user's system registry for Windows Server, initially, no exceptions were found.

8, due to the time relationship, decided to directly use the installation disk repair (Unfortunately, did not do repeated landing reasons for analysis).

9, because the user's original system has played a SP4 patch, so repair should be used to play SP4 installation disk. Method denoted: Extract all contents of WINDOWS2000 server's original installation disk to a directory A, then extract WIN2000 CN SP4 to another directory, find Update/update.exe file, execute "update-s A", Then use UltraISO to extract the boot information of the WINDOWS2000 Server CD, create a new boot message + the installation CD of the modified installation file, and then burn it out.

10, with the modified installation of CD-ROM boot system, choose to install a new system, upgrade the "C:\WINNT" This original operating system copy.
