BSOD POWER EDGE SERVER SBS 2000

I am not sure if this is the correct group to be addressing. If it is
not please point me in the right direction.

I have a Dell poweredge 2500 server running sbs 2000. I rebooted it
last month after swapping the battery in our APC. Now every time it
reboots I get the BSOD with an inaccesible boot device error. Now here
is the puzzling part, If i run chkdsk it takes about an hour says it
has fixed errors on the drive and lets me boot into sbs but if i then
reboot the system i get the BSOD again!. What can be causing this it is
driving me mad.

Thanks in advance for any help

Have you read through the event logs?
What was the last software update you did?

Did you add a new device recently.

I know you said you only rebooted it......

I have had a look through the event logs and cannot see anything that I
think would cause this. The server is running fine now just as before
it just seems that when I reboot it the error occurs and can only be
fixed by chkdsk?. I have looked on the Microsoft knowledge base at "How
to troubleshoot "stop 0x0000007B error messages in windows 2000 "and
thought that it could have been caused by windows update updating the
Perc2.sys driver for the raid array to one that doesn't match the firm
ware of the raid. But when I have checked the version on the system
with the version on the original disc it matches. I am at a loss I have
added no new devices to the system.

Thanks for your reply
