Problem is I cannot access the machine, other than ping, over the net to do 
anything. All i want to do now is pull off the data and reformat the f?:@ing 
thing.

I can boot to safe mode command prompt I need to know how to map a netowrk 
drive from command prompt to move all the data.

thanks

Ryan

    When the machine is up can you access the event log from another machine 
over the network. If so set the system log to overwrite events as needed. Then 
use the mmc to access the services of the problem machine again over the 
network. Once you can see the services disable the antivirus services. Then 
reboot the problem machine. If the problem still occurs check the event log 
over the network again and see if you have any useful errors or warnings which 
hint at the cause of the problem.

    Thanks

        When was the last time the box was rebooted prior to the SP4?

          Thanks for the responses, cannot boot recovery console as I cannot 
access anything on the box after I log in. I can boot into dos mode however..

          Have just ran chkdsk /f and have found a problem with file '9057' in 
$130 whatever this is, has taken 15 mins to fix and is still running...

          Normally I would just wipe the box and re-install but I cannot access 
the backup from the clients tape drive Onstream AD31. Even though I did a full 
backup with verify (i even checked the log) prior to SP4. I pulled the tape 
drive out and installed in a w2k workstation but it complains the tape is bad. 
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

          Would a virus cause this sort of problem ? The box has been running 
as a primitive email server (Vpop) for about a year with no virus checker 
installed ?

            Did you install the Symantec Client before or after the Service 
pack? Was there an antivirus program installed before the symantec? If so was 
it disabled when you installed the service pack? because that can cause some 
issues for sure. 

            Also, if you go to the RUN command by clicking start, then "run", 
can you get to the event viewer to see whats filling it up?  If you can't click 
start then try the windows flag key and R (flag key between cntrl and alt). Let 
me know.
