I am running RAID 5 on my SBS 2003 box. In order for me to install SBS 2003 SP1 I must first install Server 2003 SP1. As I was installing Server 2003 SP1 the computer locked up as it was extracting the files. After waiting and waiting for what seemed like years, I tried to stop the task and shut down and nothing responded. I had to reboot the computer by holding in the power button. When I tried to start the computer it locked up at the logo screen. I then rebooted the computer in safe mode. When rebooting in safe mode it locks up at this point:

multi(0)disk(0)partiion(1)\windows\AppPatch\drvmain.sdb

Does anyone know what happened and how to fix this?

Since the install didn't complete I would start fresh and not spend the time trying to troubleshoot this particular issue.

Make sure you system isn't overheating, you have the correct ram, cables seated, and all hardware is working properly.

Then reinstall from scratch with wiping the disk first so as to eliminate any issues from the failed install.
