  I've had my server for about six or seven months and haven't had a problem until now.
  
  - I'd been using the free trial version of McAfee for the server and the subscription ran out today
  - I paid for a new subscription (server) and was attempting to download/install
  - I'd remoted into the server's desktop
  - I first uninstalled the original McAfee using the control panel
  - I was using IE from the server for the download
  - As far as I knew it was still downloading, not installing, when a box popped up saying "Communication has been lost attempting to restore"
  - It was not able to restore the connection
  - I can no longer remote into the server
  - I tried to run the Server Recovery Disk, Shut down Server, Power Up, Use paperclip on reset button when light is blinking red/blue
  - The recovery program cannot find the server
  - When I use the paperclip none of the drive light come on and the far right status light is red
  - When I let it boot without using the paperclip all four drives lights come on but the far right status light is still red.
  
  I have all the data saved on DVDs so I don't have a problem with any type of recovery, but at this point I can't do anything...!  Please help.
  
  Thanks, Al
