Escape windows OS repair and start in normal boot?

1 New Member
I have a corrupted file in the OS (running a poweredge t410, windows server 2003 RT). Booting up in safe mode shows it stopped at acpitabl.dat. Google results led me to believe that the update.sys file was corrupted. So I tried to load it on the disk, but I was having trouble: "unable to create file update.sys 0 files expanded"

So instead of going into recovery console from the installation disk, I entered "install windows" ... where It would detect the previous installation and repair it.

As I did that, I realized that I wasn't using the original installation disk (for licensing reasons, one is standard edition the other is R2), when I switch out the disk I receive a signature error.

When I try to access the recovery console now, it no longer asks me for the administrator password, which means I can't write files on the disk. However I can read them. When I try to boot up without the disk, it leads me the Windows Repair Installation window and then asks for the disk.

Is there anyway out of this, or did I dig myself a hole?

TLDR; I forced a windows OS installation repair due to a corrupt file in the OS, I want to escape the repair installation (e.g. http://0.tqn.com/d/pcsupport/1/5/H/0/-/-/xpnew10.jpg)

Hi, I have upgraded from Tomcat4.0.4 to Tomcat4.1.29 by installing a binary, not an RPM. It looks OK but it won't start at boot time. There are no scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ or /etc/init.d/ All I have is catalina.sh and startup.sh in $TOMCAT_HOME/bin. There is no tomcat.conf file for this version either. Should I create my own shell script? What should be in it? Should it just call catalina.sh or startup.sh? Where should I put this...

I've written a Windows Service using C#, but I cannot seem to figure out how to cancel or prevent the service from starting under certain conditions. For example, in the OnStart I read in some configuration settings, and if anything is either empty, or invalid (such as a DB DataSource string or a missing diredtory, etccc) I don't want the servie to start. So how would I cancel the start up?

Being a newbie on C# managed services, I've probably done something horribly wrong here... The intent is to create a windows service that runs under the SYSTEM account. I have created a service according to available examples in MSDN, and I have used the Installutil.exe to install the service on my PC. The OnStart method is still completely empty, I'd like to get the base running before I start to build the solution.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
