*** SOLVED *** SBS 2003

Recommended Posts

Customer had a power failure while server was on. (No UPS on site).

When server turns on goes through the HP logo screen, goes through the RAID screen, then screen goes black with a flashing cursor in top left of screen.

Server has 2x 250GB in a RAID Mirror.

I have tried unplugging each hard drive but the machine will not boot.

I have left server on overnight to see if it will finally boot but not hopeful.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the next step?

Thanks

If it's a RAID1, no, it should rebuild without losing data. However, a RAID1 (mirror) should technically boot fine if one of the two mirrored drives is degraded, so I'd make sure you have a GOOD, RECENT backup to restore if this goes south.
