Question : Dell PE T300 Win 2008 server stuck in loop

Greetings Experts!  I have a Windows 2008 server that is a sole DC for a vet's office (I just picked the client up and was doing an audit when I rebooted the server).  The shared drives on the server were accessible and I could log into it via RDP until I rebooted it.  Before the reboot, I noticed the server had AVG Free Edition, had updates last installed October of 2009 and when I tried to install the updates, it would just hang.  

I have the Dell and Windows CD's and left the vet's office with the server so it's sitting here next to me.  The question(s) is/are, what is the best way to proceed?  I've tried "Last Known Good Config" which hangs, recovery console gets hung at one of the files (crcdisk.sys - so it must be the file after that one that is the problem?) and the "repair server" option doesn't aid at all.  

Your help is appreciated.

No.

This issue was reported by many and one of the suggestions I was going to give was to wait it out. Basically they said that the issue was that there was a long delay on boot when this error came up.

This was mainly showing on Vista, but the platforms are very similar. There are the same issues on Server 2008 on google.

I would bet it was an update. We had something similar happen on one of our client's systems and we had to wait 6 hours before the update went through. Thanks M$
