Hello all,
I have an Acer H340 which has 3 disks: 1TB stock OS disk, 650GB data disk (D1) and 808GB data disk (D2). I have disks D1 and D2 setup as a unified drive with folder duplication. One day the server was physically moved inadvertently, and some time after it
kept running I noticed that D1's light was magenta (not sure how long it had been on). At this point, I powered down the OS and moved it over to my study to take a closer look and attempt a recovery if possible.
When I turned it back on, none of the disk lights came back on and I was unable to connect to it. As a result I had to do a hard shutdown (hold down Power for 5 seconds). The only way I could get it to boot up completely was to remove the two data drives
D1 and D2 and then boot up. After boot up, I can login (via mstsc or the WHS connector) to the server as long as I do not add either of the data drives back in. But when I add either or both of D1 and D2 back in, their lights do not come back on and then neither
mstsc (I get a desktop background but login never happens) nor the WHS connector work. I am able to connect to my server by going to \\server, and the shares and all the files show up in directory listings, but any file that I attempt to access is indicated
to have been corrupted. Note that through all of this, the 'i' stays a solid red.
Help! I'm not sure what my options are to recover my data. any help is appreciated.
[Update] I wanted to add that restarting the server with only one of the data disks (D2) causes the OS to boot up, but one of the disk lights come on, and I get spammed with "The storage
utilization has exceeded 75 % for more than 3 minute(s)." emails.
Thanks!
