I had to hard boot the system and when it came back up it stopped loading windows. I tried all safe mode it goes through the boot up process and then dies when it tries to load acpitabl.dat file... If i try to load a windows 2003 CD it freezes once it says loading windows at the bottom. In this box i have a scisi controller with 2 one has oS the other data. If i try to load the scisi driver it tells me windows has one and then crashes when windows loading comes up at the bottom. Any ideas? Its a Dell Poweredge 2600 windows 2003 standard.
