I'm just grasping at straws here but is there a "last known good"
configuration option in 2003??  What got me thinking about it was the fact
that we just had a power failure and upon reboot one of our 2K workstations
had a BSOD, "inaccessible boot device"  it would not boot into safe mode, I
also could not get to the recovery console but the last known good option
worked like a charm..

My situation is a bit different than what I've read so far.

I had an older system that I thought I'd try to install Server 2003 on. 
I formated the drive and installed server 2003 with no problem at all. 
It ran great. When I installed 2003 SP1 the system would boot but just 
hang with a blank desk top and the hard drive developed the hiccups. I 
could hear it accessing at regular intervals but it would not proceed. A 
3 finger salute and process viewer was useless. The drive hicupped even 
in safe mode.

Anybody have any clue as to what is going on or how to "force" the 
system to finish booting?

Toby
