Hi,
I have a server 2008 box that crashed while it was being backed up and somehow the snapshot chain got broken. I manually merged all the VHD files back into a single VHD and now the server will boot, but it will not show the login screen. I know that it is booted because I can hit the shift key 5 times to bring up the sticky keys option. Can someone please help, I have tried many things including: Safe mode, last known good, running the bootsect /nt60 all /force command, all to no avail and the server just keeps showing the black screen. Restoring from backup is the absolute last option as the last good backup was now a few days ago.
Thanks in advance!
