Hi gurus,
I am trying to upgrade my WS2003SE to SBS2003. I put in the DVD and
stopped all 3rd party services (including defrag and antivirus). The inital
phase completed with no errors. However, after system restarts, the setup
hung after the component selection and folders selection. So I terminated
the setup and restarted the machine.

After restart, as before logging in with the built-in administrator
account, I re-ran continue setup. The setup will exit everytime after the
folders selection screen. Consequently, I am left with a half finished
installation which doesn't quite work for us.

I am desperate to try any solution short of a complete reformat of the
machine. Please help.

Depends on the stage of the Install:

Start > Search > Files and Folders >
Error.log; Event.log; Setup.log; Progress.log

also for logs under the administrator profile for the domain,
Local Settings\Temp
