installed 2003 server, then installed XP in separate logical drive. Now I can't get to 2003 server. It just hangs, even though XP still boots fine when selected. I really need to get back in to the 2003 server install and don't really care about the Xp install. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried re installing windows 2003 server and leaving file system intact?

Is there a way I can do this with boot.ini/ntldr instead of a reinstall? I am concerned that I may lose some apps I installed on 2003 server. And since 2003 server still shows up as an option during boot, I assume that the XP install f'd up something even though I did it on a drive other than the 2003 drive. SO I was hoping I could fix this some other way other than reinstalling 2003 server. Any way/chance I can rollback the XP install?

Got a version of ntldr from before I installed XP and now I can get into 2003 server just fine.
