hi, like i said, tried to add a virtual hard drive, then after it got past the windows server 2003 startup icon, it stayed black and didn't do anything. tried uninstalling the hard drive but it still gets stuck in the same place. any suggestions?

Did you add a buslogic-scsi-disk or an IDE-disk?

If yes you may need to fix boot-sequence in BIOS
