I am currently working with a Dell Poweredge server with Windows NT 4.0. It was working fine until a power outage shut it down, and on a reboot it said that the NT kernal was corrupt. So naturally I did a repair installation of NT, and then the computer would restart itself every time when it came to the WinNT opening blue splash screen on bootup. It kept restarting itself (in a loop), so I did an upgrade installation to the entire operating system. The problem remained exactly the same. This computer has important data on it that is not backed up. It has 3 SCSI hard drives and 2 SCSI cdrom drives. Any help? Thanks.

this is what i did when i had an almost similar prob when it kept rebooting itself when starting win2000.

If u have a spare partition .. install a new copy of the OS there with the same admin password n users n password. You may be able to read into the unbootable ntfs partition to back up your data. That was what i did.
