After installing Windows2003 Web Edition and Standard (2 images -
independent from each other) I thought everything went fine. Till that
point it actually DID. But after installing the Service Pack 1 for W2k3
using Windows Update the system just reboots a few seconds (a minute or
so) after the login screen comes up :(

Can anyone confirm that? any fix known? I was not able to find much about
it...

Regards, Bigfoot29
