Is it possible to boot into a "Directory Services Restore mode" using a CD on other non-main OS boot partition?

-

hi

i have small business server 2003 install went though partial upgrade crashed. on reboot, setup not continue because of 0xc00002e1 error on ad database. error says need boot directory services restore mode fix database, fine, can't because hare half way through upgrade. so, can no longer continue setup/upgrade, , can't boot directory service restore mode pressing f8 boot menu.

we rebuild server, recreate user , re-attach exchange db, able server if on extract configuration change made on exchange server smtp settings.

so - can boot directory services restore mode, or use directory service restore tools without going though boot main paint os boot partition?

any appreciated

chris

the dsrm restore mode accesible drive , not winpe disk or bartpe mounts harddisk , can copy data it.

be aware exchange requires correct username/password combination original domain , not sure if able access exchange database when copied new created domain, if smae names used.
