It is running now and almost done. I was kicking myself for not doing it earlier.

When I first loaded the OS, I did not need to load any drivers to install. When the dialog comes up to choose a listed OS for repair, none are listed. Then it asks you to load drivers (but, of course, does not give a clue as to what drivers it may need). \\Steve// -----Original Message----- From: Chris Knieriem [mailto:cknier...@pccareonline.com] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 11:23 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Flukey Server Steve, Are you loading the disc controller drivers when you are booting from CD/DVD. Press F6 to have the boot process stop to load the RAID drivers or the OS will not see the discs. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Steve Szabo [mailto:steve...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 7:43 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Flukey Server The server that is home to Exchange 2007 has gone flukey (2008 Standard, 64-bit), and several Exchange services are not starting, or are shutting down. The NIC has decided that it is not connected to a network as well. I tried to do a repair on the server today, and it does not see that there is an OS already installed and asked me to load drivers (even though the OS still boots). I loaded all the disk drivers, but still no OS is seen for repair. I loaded the chipset as well, still no go. I am currently thinking of installing the server again as an overly install, then re-installing Exchange, if I need to. I presume that I'll need to use the DR switch to do so. We've been using the Microsoft built in backup, and the last time I tested and restored a couple of test files, it looks like the backup is good, but I will copy the store and logs to another drive, so I have them. Other than Exchange, there is nothing of importance on the primary drive. Does this seem to be a good plan, or am I dreaming? \\Steve// --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
