Greetings,
The answer to this question must be here somewhere, but I have not been able to find it, so am asking for help. After using my HP EX495 Mediasmart server for three years the OS drive failed. I also had a second drive with a backup of the files on the OS Drive. I put a new drive in the lower tray and did a recovery with the second backup drive not in the server. I was able to do a recovery, but when I tried to add the still-good data drive, it did not recognize this as a backup drive and gave me the option of either formating it or keeping the files. When I elected to keep the files, it simply blocked off almost all of the disk. I still did not recognize the drive as a backup. I then did a recover with the data drive in place. Same result.
How do I get the server to recognize the data drive as just that and simply add it back in, duplicating these still good files onto the OS drive.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jim
