    I'm still using WHS v.1 with SP 3. My computer server motherboard is falling (I think) and corrupt the OS. I restored it using Acronis which it worked, but when I went to the SHARES folder I didn't see any folders in there. So I went to My computer and I did notice that all my HD drives were shown instead of the normal ones: C:Sys and D: Data. I clicked each one of them and I see the DE folder and the shares with the rest. I tried to copy all the folders to a different HD, but I got a message that system can't not copy or some thing like that. It looks like the data extender got corrupted. I did try to restore the OS using the DVD, but I get New Installation. I don't want to do that because I'm going to lose all my data. I have over 2 TB worth of data, you know family pictures, home movies and musics. Also, I'm getting WHS backup service is not running (See pic).

    Could this be part of that problem too?

    I really appreciate your help.

    Thank you.

    Your problems start with the use of Acronis to back up and restore your system partition, I'm afraid.

    At this point, you're unlikely to get the secondary drives re-integrated with your server, so I would suggest in the interests of moving forward you read and follow this FAQ, after doing a new installation on a new hard drive (and none of your old drives connected).

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    I have followed your suggestion, but WHS hang right after installed the .Net framework. Right now is hanging in  Finalizing installation "Installing Windows Home Server". It's already 1:30 hour ago and nothing. I also did try to re-install again but still doing the same thing. What's causing this?

    Thanks.

    Assuming you only have one drive connected for the installation, I think you have confirmation that you need new hardware.
