I have a customer (a church) who is using a Windows Home Server to backup their church office desktop computers to(original version of Windows Home Server, circa 2004, with Service Pack 2 installed). They would like to restore one of their computers,
but when I looked in the subdirectory where I expected to find a restoreCD.iso, this message was there:
How to Create a Home Computer Restore CD:
If there is a CD image file (RestoreCD.iso) in this folder, it is outdated.
To create a Home Computer Restore CD, download the ISO image file (RestoreCD.iso) from the Microsoft Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=104683. Then you must write the file to a blank CD. You cannot use Windows Explorer to write the ISO image
to the CD. Instead, you need a CD/DVD burner. Most CD/DVD burners include software that you can use to write the ISO image to a CD. Follow the instructions for your burner software, and select the option to write the ISO image rather than individual files.
The linkID to 104683 no longer works. Is there any way to get a restoreCD.iso that will still work with this version of Windows Home Server?
I've searched the forum and Microsoft tech pages, but only find references to a WHS 2011 Restore CD, and I assume that won't work with the original version of Windows Home Server.
Thanks!
Mike
