Woke up this morning to find that I had multiple errors on my WHS. Computer Backup Service not running, MANY File Conflicts, Server Storage Unhealthy and an error running WHS Storage Manager. I have posted feedback under ID 355930

Anyone else seeing such behavior? I haven't had any problems before PP1 and have worked through the wmccds.exe issue.

To add to all of this.. I just lost all of my backups and cannot access any of the files on my server. I can browse all of the files but when I access them it says the drive ( D: ) is not connected.... I have 4 500 gig drives and last I checked had about 750Gb free. I cannot tell what is available as I have a problem with WHS server storage and it does not calculate the storage space.

HELP!!!!!! Any Ideas what I should do? I thought about re-installing WHS, but not sure if I should at this point with the "Unhealthy" drive and everything else that is going on. I really don't want to lose everything on my server.

Thanks-

Brian

i ended up losing everything on the drive that became un-formatted, naturally. WHS would not repair or remove the drive, so I un-installed PP1, deleted the partition, recreated ithe drive with a primary partition and WHS sees it as a new drive, but it cannot add it. It is a Seagate Barracuda EIDE 500Gb Drive, so I ran SeaTools on it and everything checks out fine with it.

My main concern is that It just all of a sudden became un-formatted and then lost all of the data stored on it. I have been testing WHS since the beginning and have not had any major problems until I installed PP1. I am running the OEM version of WHS, purchased it from NewEgg when it first came out.

I am a systems engineer by trade, so I generally leave out the common details. If there is anything you may need to know, please let me know and I will be more than happy to provide details.
