Windows 2000 Server-Login problem and C drive

[Adam Gilstrap]

I have a Windows 2000 Server production system that has all of a sudden
started having some odd behavior. When i go to login to the server it
will start logging me in and then it will kick me back out to the logon
screen. I have also noticed that i am not able to connect to the admin
share for the c drive..C$. There are also many services that are
failing due to the inability to connect to the C drive. I am able to
connect to another drive on the system(D$). This server is a file
server for my organization. It is serving up files fine from the "D"
drive. I am able to remotely connect via computer management snap-in
and also the registry, but can't do anything when trying to login or
remotely connect to "C:". Has anyone come across this before?

This sounds like one of two things; the drive letter has change from
original install, or the drive permissions have changed.

Unable to Log on if the Boot Partition Drive Letter Has Changed

Thanks Dave...it appears that was it. The c drive somehow was now the E
drive. Once i reboot the server all should be good. I'm able to
login now at least. Thanks again.
