Windows Home Server - Ultimate Test
Putting my new server through a massive test as one of the two new hard drives for it is broken  Currently running the remove hard-drive wizard so we shall see what happens...... Hopefully it should be ok all the data fitted on the first disk and the second was just for duplicated files We Shall See......... Wish me luck IJ |

Re: Windows Home Server - Ultimate Test
Not good the dodgy drive is the one with windows on it, i think that means if i install home server onto my new disk I believe it formats it first except that is where all my good non-corrupted data is .......
I think the only way around this is to borrow a hard drive from someone if possible, otherwise or hope that my replacement drive arrives before I have to send the old one back..... |

Re: Windows Home Server - Ultimate Test
cant you just unplug the other drives - install - then reconnect them ?

Re: Windows Home Server - Ultimate Test
Unfortunately not, one drive (with windows on it) is dying the other has the good versions of all my files, so if I install on that disk I lose a lot of data

Re: Windows Home Server - Ultimate Test
