Has anyone seen or had this problem before. We run Small Business Server 4.5 on NT 4.0. One day out of the blue we rebooted the server and when it gets to the point (blue screen.. SP info) reading the partitions the system automatically reboots, We cannot boot the server because of this, not in VGA mode or normal. We have tried the HD in multiple systems with the same problem occurring. Hard Drive diagnostics do not show any errors.

Well, I've never actually had this happen before, so I can't say for sure. However:
1. Unless the other systems you are putting the harddrive have the exact same hardware configuration as the original machine, you are going to have some problems.
2. Have you tried selecting 'Last known good hardware profile' during the boot cycle?
3. What about the NT restoration disks, whoever installed the OS should have made a set for that system.
HTH, if not message back.
