I have been trying to build a Home Server from an old VAIO PCV-RX755 w/ 1TB of IDE HDD... after a few weeks of trouble shooting various instability & Blue-Screen issues I decided to try the install on a new(er) PC;
The install cannot even complete. I have tried multiple times now for 2 days and the machine keeps getting hung up on the "Formating Volume" stage. I cannot even install the WHS OS!!
Anybody know what the problem might be?
Also, I've downloaded the WHS w/ PP1 ISO and burned it to disc as well as ordered the trial version from MSFT. I get the same result with both discs on both machines that I attempted to install on. The VAIO is plagued w/ Blue Screen issues and the HP cannot make it past the "Formatting" stage of install.
