Win 2003 Server Help Please
Ok I need the steps to copy a missing system file back on windows 2003 server so it will boot into windows again. I'm trying to copy the system file using the recovery console and I forget how to copy. The System file is located D:\english\win2003\ent\I386. How do I copy that to the C: drive that has win server on it. Also I do not get the Repair option when I boot with the server cd I can only repair through recovery console.

Did you try the standard DOS command?
Code:
copy /y "D:\english\win2003\ent\i386\*" "c:\Windows\i386\" |

I just tried that and got an invalid parameter. I want to copy the System file not the whole I386 folder.

You could boot it up with something like a BartPE CD and copy it using the file manager GUI.

You could be getting a bad parameter because the paths are not correct.
Very each path exists: Code:
c: cd \windows\i386 d: cd \english\win2003\ent\i386 |

There's your problem then.
Your system path isn't \Windows\i386. Just replace this with whatever the appropriate folder is on your C drive and you should be fine. |

Would anybody happen to know where the system file would be on server 2003. As I cant boot in to see where it would be stored because it's not I386. I can change directory to C:\windows\config\system32 but it wont copy it there.

Typically it's either \Windows or \Windows\system32
