If I decide to do a server reinstall, I have of course to follow the usual procedure of booting from the install dvd and choose server reinstall,do I loase any data of my other hard drives or from only the c: and d: ?
Is that correct?
The reason I want to do that is becasuse I can't configure remote web access, it hangs in the middle and I have to cancel the process. No big deal.
And yes, I have followed step-by-step numerous procedures, of opening up ports 80-443, deactivating firewall on the router, on the server, any other possible combination that you can imagine. I am really fed up.
Perhaps my server doesn't like my router, which hasn't turned any problems at all so far. Oh, and another thing. Sometimes when I am rebootinng the server, cause I need to add another hard drive, the router restarts at the time the server boots.
At the beginning before playing around with opening ports, I was able to configure a domain name-I used the one that I already had from Whs v1-but remote web access refused to work.
in fact it rebooted my router. Very weird though.
Anyway, I will try to reinstall the server OS, and see if this solves my , I would say, minor annoyance.
And since we were talking about adding hard drives, I initially installed the OS in AHCI mode. Does it make any difference in HDD hot swapping or is it not supported? Is it safe to do it, or should I stick to the tradiotional method of powering down the
machine before adding a hard drive?
I would greatly appreciate your help.
