un4given1 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long night... and I have 8 more hours ahead of me now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un4given1 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un4given1 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 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?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
