Windows Server 2003 - Bluescreen Startup

[DaveyD]

Hi there,

Our server in our office has decided to start to play up in a big way.

Basically, it bluescreens nomatter what you do to try to boot up in either normal Windows Server 2003 or safe mode etc.

It flashes up a very very quick Blue screen while booting, which appears to have UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. Upon a search, the result may be a buggered file system,

I do not have the server disc to hand at the moment to boot in to the install option to try and see if it can be fixed using chkdsk /r or fixboot.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm currently downloading the Server 2003 ISO from my uni's student MSDNAA thingy but need to get hold of a working CD writer then.

Cheers in advance.

Dave

Do you have the important data backed up?
What roles does this server carry out?

Most of the important data is backed up, but I'd like to get it fixed just to make sure as some of the recent week's work is not backed up.

The server is used as a data and user account server for a small office.
