Oh... I see. So your copy of windows has the drivers for the controller. Did you check the registry?

Disk is just a straight DVD burned from the downloaded ISO from the partner download site. Mainboard is an Intel board (S3200SHV) with built in RAID controller for SATA disks. Etc., etc. Drivers are original from the disk that came with mainboard. \\Steve// -----Original Message----- From: Roger Scudder [mailto:r...@scudderconsulting.com] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 2:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Flukey Server Steve... When you loaded the OS did you use a setup disk provided by the server manufacturer? You should really make it a priority to get the disk controller spec and make sure you have the correct driver on hand in the event of a disaster. If the system becomes inoperable you may have to pull the card to read the part number.

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 --- 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
