Thanks Dennis!

I can only choose setting S1 OR S3 (suspend to RAM) not both.
What should I do?
Do you think this is the crucial point here which prevents my system from
booting?

Thanks and regards,
Klaus

Klaus:
Actually it's a WAG on my part. I haven't had the problem that
you're having on three test systems during the beta, 2 systems updated to
RTM through Windows update and 2 systems to RTM from the download. The
setting that's different on your system is the S1 instead of S3 and I
vaguely remember an oddity on one system until I changed the setting from S1
to S3. Have a great day.

From: Klaus on
I have additional two questions:
1.
What is acpitabl.dat? When I start the repaired SP1 version of X64 in safe
mode, I can see that the last driver loaded is acpitabl.dat in system32.
This driver is loaded successfully although I can't find any acpitabl.*
files on the whole disk.

2.
In event viewer I see a lot of errors propably concerning one of my two SCSI
drives:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: aic78u2
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5
Date: 29.03.2007
Time: 10:18:59
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
A parity error was detected on \Device\Scsi\aic78u21.

Checkdisk does not find errors on both drives. Does I have to take this
error message more seriously? Could this be the reason for the booting
failure under SP2?

Thanks and regards,
Klaus

At this point I'm at the limit of my knowledge. An error with a hard
drive can create havoc on a system. If you're running W2K3 server the
following article may be of help,

day.
