    Sorry Guys to be a pain,

    What does it mean when a windows 2003 server wont load any services, allow installation of programs or anything? It wont even recognise newly attached USB devices?!!!

    More info would definitely help.

    If no services are loaded then basicaly the machine never boots, and is pretty much stuffed. But you may mean something different by 'services'.

    What happens when you try?

    And does the machine come up in safe mode OK?
