When the machine is up can you access the event log from another machine
over the network. If so set the system log to overwrite events as needed.
Then use the mmc to access the services of the problem machine again over
the network. Once you can see the services disable the antivirus services.
Then reboot the problem machine. If the problem still occurs check the event
log over the network again and see if you have any useful errors or warnings
which hint at the cause of the problem.
Thanks
James

Thanks for the responses, cannot boot recovery console as I cannot
access anything on the box after I log in. I can boot into dos mode
however..
Have just ran chkdsk /f and have found a problem with file '9057' in
$130 whatever this is, has taken 15 mins to fix and is still running...
Normally I would just wipe the box and re-install but I cannot access
the backup from the clients tape drive Onstream AD31. Even though I did a
full backup with verify (i even checked the log) prior to SP4. I pulled the
tape drive out and installed in a w2k workstation but it complains the tape
is bad. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Would a virus cause this sort of problem ? The box has been running as
a primitive email server (Vpop) for about a year with no virus checker
installed ?

Did you install the Symantec Client before or after the Service
pack? Was there an antivirus program installed before the symantec? If so
was it disabled when you installed the service pack? because that can cause
some issues for sure.
Also, if you go to the RUN command by clicking start, then "run",
can you get to the event viewer to see whats filling it up? If you can't
click start then try the windows flag key and R (flag key between cntrl and
alt). Let me know.
