Hi, I have a Windows Home Server which has developed a loop. When i try to log in via remote desktop or from the console it says that Windows Home Server is not activated, please active now, so i click ok and then a window comes up saying its already activated click ok, which i do and this then takes me back to the login screen where the same thing happens again it i retry to login.
This is also happening with keybaord, mouse / monitor connected and in safe mode so i have NO access to the desktop at all.
When using the install disk i can get to a screen which will allow me to reinstall and keep all my backups but all my applications etc will be lost. There is no recovery console or way of accessing the registry that i can find to troubleshoot.
Can anyone suggest anything? Could i use a boot CD to get to the registry and files to clear this, i would rather not reinstall as i'd hate to take the chance of loosing data.
