This server is our Active Directory/Exchange server. Currently I am having a problem installing any program as well as not getting into disk management. Whenever I try to run the SP4 update from disk it sits at inspecting system and doesn't continue. I've virus checked the computer and it came out clean.

The disk management problem is somewhat the same thing. Something happened to the M: partition of the drive so I wanted to check out the partitions and see what was wrong. When I go to disk management it just sits at Connecting to Logical Disk Managment Service and nothing else pops up. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Go into the registry to HKLM\System\CurrnetControlSet\Services\dmadmin

Change the Dword value "Start" to 3

Reboot, and your problems should go away...
