MS Windows Server 20003 Problem

Hi guys

My problem is as below:
I have two parts in my system; one is MS XP home and another is MS Windows 20003 Server. XP Home is alright. My problem is that whenever I start MS Windows 2003 Server, a message pops up “At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use event viewer to examine the event log for details.” This does not give me any big problem but when I insert my external hard drive on this server I can not see the content of that external drive, which I have to work on. But when I insert that external hard drive in my MS XP home drive, it works fine means I am able to see this external hard drive’s contents. Here are some error logs found in event viewer:
1, FileMgr::StartLogFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'E:\DATABASES\HCM89DMO_log.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

2,FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:\DATABASES\HCM89DMO_data.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).

3,FCB::Open: Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'E:\DATABASES\HCM89DMO_data.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation

4,FileMgr::StartLogFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'E:\DATABASES\HCS89DMO_data.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

5,FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:\DATABASES\HCS89DMO_data.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).

6,FCB::Open: Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'E:\DATABASES\HCS89DMO_data.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

Everytime these error log I get when I start server 2003.

This had happened earlier too but that was cured by this way; Before inserting external hard drive I started MS XP drive and inserted that external hard drive in system and after that only I switched to MS Server 2003. This way it had worked but now this idea is also not working.

One more thing I want to share that flash drive works fine in this server and XP home side as well.

So Tech gurus I really appreciate you if could take me out of this trouble.

Thanks in advance.
