February 22, 200521 yr OK. So I bought a new car today (not NEW, but new to me...) and I was out cruising when I got a call from our CEO. "Don... The power at the office went out and now the server won't boot." OK... great! So, I head to the office and YEP! It won't boot. Go figure. During startup shortly after the Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition logo screen pops up, BSOD! So, I start by seeing if it's possible that since the drives are mirrored, maybe I can rebuild one of them with the other... I do a concistency check... no luck. So, I reboot to the system console and run CHKDSK... After about 2 hours of waiting, I'm in! The only problem... IIS isn't working Service errors out the a**! So here I am... 2:36 in the morning... running a backup on the system (it's a new system and we hadn't set up backup options on it yet... stupid me!) so I can uninstall IIS and reinstall. So.. Wish me luck! I'll keep you all updated.
February 22, 200521 yr Author I fixed it!!!! Finally! Only 8 hours after I started. 20 minutes before the staff arrives and goes about normal business. ****, I'm good! (I only said that to make myself laught... It's been a long night... and I have 8 more hours ahead of me now.)
February 23, 200521 yr Author Well, what I think happened is that the power went out and when the UPS went (it wasn't configured properly to shut down the system) it corrupted a bunch of files... What a pain.
February 23, 200521 yr Hey, at least you got a new car <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hard work doesn't go unrewarded!
February 23, 200521 yr Author Oh... that was another thing...On my way home the engine on my new car seized... But the good news is that the dealership is going to replace it for me. It's not a "new" car. It's a 93 Toyota Celica GT. But, I am without it for a couple days while they take care of that. I can always rely on my Chevy Truck though! (that sounded a little redneck, didn't it?)
