Windows 2003 Server problem - anyone got any ideas?
We reconfigured some computers in our basement.

Shutdown and then restarted our Windows 2003 server...and of course right before closing...Microsoft wants to install some updates (should have said no...but Mr. B thought it would be okay)

So now we try to boot up and low and behold....all we get is the

Windows 2003 screen, the blinking thing is moving back and forth like it is waiting to do something but nothing else...

numlock won't respond...so keyboard input isn't accepted just yet...

any ideas????

1. Do you have a emergency CD for Floppy to try to boot up in Safe Mode?
I assume you can do that for the server software.
