Thanks for the help guys, Im getting there slowly but getting there..

If the hardware is the same, you could use Acronis to take images on the live server and then image the spare server, once you have this done you could swap the server into the live enviroment and see how the clients respond. this is a good bit of software !

thanks for that! 1 less to worry about!

is your router/ firewall acting as DCHP and conflicting with the server?? is the DHCP aurthorize and active?

Ive since ran the check disk and also tried your solution Iamtheky. The chkdsk /p found a few errors but still no joy. I Think my only option is to run a repair on the OS now This means i'll loose all the installed programs

I have a DEll Dimension 5000, This is running XP Pro SP3. It will boot into windows and give me a blank desktop, I have went into safe mode and did a system restore with no sucess. I get the safe crap I have created a user within safe mode and have the option to click on the new user in normal mode but it sits on a desktop with no icons I have booted from the XP cd and attemped a repair, it is looking for a password that I havent got.. I have booted from ERD commander to reset the password and this still will not let me into Reapir mode I have scanned the harddrive as a Slave disk in another Pc and it found no virus or spyware What else can i do ?

hmm Im a total newbiw and totally lost, I think I have alot of reading to do to get this done so then!! but hey It looks interesting so i'll give it ago:)
