nothing is on the screen. I don't get any messages at all, only a flashing cursor blinking at the top left of the screen. I have the same problem on all servers. IBM, HP, and Dell. I have tried on 5 different servers so it is some problem with my install as opposed to a hardware problem.

I have an automated installed for win 2k3 and have been using it for a while now. I updated it a while ago with new patches from MS and now it doesnt work properly. The boot image works and I get my menus for installing from CD or network, and it partititons the drive and all and the text portion of the install kicks off. It copies all the files to the hard drive and reboots. Up until then, all seems fine. The problem then is that it will not boot from the hard drive. If i put in an origianl windows cd, and let it start the install and copy a few files over, it then works ok and i can take the cd out. It is as if my custom cd all the sudded doesnt put a boot record on the disk. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks
