Windows server 2003 stop code c000021a

by gurneet . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I am running windows server 2003 and last week one of my servers HP DL380 G3 had this message

NON SYSTEM DISK
I don’t know how it got in this state

I rebooted and got the following

Slot 0 Drive Array – Replacement drive(s) detected OR previous drive(s) now appear to be operational
SCSI Port 2: SCSI IDs 0,1
Logical drive(s) disabled due to possible data loss
Select F1 to continue with logical drive(s) disabled
Select F2 to accept data loss and to re-enable logical drive(s)

I selected F2 and the system then booted. I then set up chkdsk /f and rebooted so it would start.

I was then able to remirror my data base from the backup server and it functioned as it should all w/e.

Today a coworker went to reboot due to MS patches and got from the Smart Array controller that a drive was bad so I gave him a new drive

Now when it looks like it is coming up to the login prompt I get nothing but:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000026c
The system has been shut down.

Could this be a bad controller. I have also read this may be a winlogin.exe error….

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
