More Windows Home Server Problems
This morning I started the have some more problems with my Windows Home Server. It just seems to eat through hard drives like crazy. It wouldn’t boot so I booted a live CD of XP that I have. This couldn’t read the C drive saying that it was corrupt and unreadable.
I ran chkdsk /r C: and left it. This took quite a while but completed. Still couldn’t read C. I ran it again but still nothing. I tried to reboot anyway but still nothing.
I am now having to do a server re-installation. This will be quite annoying since I’ll lose all my settings and programs but at least I should still have my data drives.
The last time I did this it took me quite a while to get everything set up again. I am hoping that this will last until Easter when I will buy a new hard drive while back in England. I have a feeling that this one might be on the way out. Unless it is something that Windows did to break it.
Either way, assuming this re-install works, it will probably take me most of the afternoon to get it up and running again.
Happy birthday blog
Just a short post to say this blog is one year old today. I was reminded by an email this morning, the receipt for the automatic credit card payment on the hosting.
