2003 Enterprise missing repair option.

mat2277 · 04-18-2008, 03:12 PM

I am trying to do a repair on a file server running 2003 enterprise edition and when I boot from the OS cd I get the first screen which says to push "R" to go to the recovery console. At this point I push enter and I thought I should get a screen that says to continue with install or repair a selected install.

I dont get this. It takes me to a screen showing alll of my partitions and gives me the options to, install windows, create partition or delete partition.

Does anyone know how to get the repair optioin??

If you select your OS partition does it give you the option to do a repair install on it?

I never get the screen showing my OS install. If gives me the screen showing all of the partitions on the box.

Searching this problem on the net I have seen a screenshot of the screen I am supposed to get listing my OS install and asking if I wish to continue with installation or repair the current install.

I dont ever get that screen.

You have to select the partition that your OS is on.
