Help! 2003 server NTFS.SYS Corrupt or Missing

[Guest JM_Metal]

I have a Windows 2003 server w/Exchange 2003 running (or was) on a Dell 2650

RAID 5 environment. Upon a re-boot I got the error "Windows could not start

....file missing or corrupt \system32\drivers\ntfs.sys.

 

I renamed ntfs.sys to ntfs.old and cpoied the file from the installation

disk vis recovery console, yet upon re-boot I get the same error.

 

Is the only option an in-place repair?

Hello JM_Metal,

 

Before playing around you should create an image from the server, to have

always a point to go back if something goes wrong during your search.

 

Check out this one, should help you, even if 2003 is not mentioned:
