SBS 4.5, so NT 4 SP6.
I created a new RAID 1 mirror on two new HDS using the RAID management tool (text version - the Asus GUI one does nothing but crash
).
Rebooted once it the mirror had initalised to get Windows to see it so I could create logical drives but it stops during boot saying C_1252.nls is missing or corrupt. Using /SOS shows the boot process starts fine as it loads NTOSKRNL etc but then dies on this file.
I've used ERD Commander 2002 to get in and replace the C_1252.nls file with a SP4 version and fresh SP6 version but no success.
It seems this is a common error with boot partitions bigger than 7.8GB. It's 3 to 4GB on this server (18GB RAID 5 array) so that can't be the issue.
Thoughts?

ChrisB, whilst I don't have an answer for you, try the following newsgroup which I subscribe to as there are some really great people on the list who may be able to assist further - they deal with both 4.5 and 2K.

Cheers Aqua - fixed the sucker this morning.
Two runs of Chkdsk on the C: via ERD2002 got it past the missing .NLS file. NT then did an AutoChk on the 'blue screen' - a whole raft of errors were fixed - and it came up.
Had some problems with services not starting. Copied two fresh DLLs into System32 and everything came back up next time.
Had to restore a file from tape to get Backup Exec working again but I think it's back to normal now. Phew!
