Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out why my ex470 appears on my network for a brief time then becomes unavailable at random times.
I've been able to get into it via RDC or the WHS console. The server storage tab in the whs console indicates that one drive is unhealthy. There are no warning or indicator lights on the outside of the unit, everything is blue.
Trying to right click on the unhealthy drive and click repair seems to work however the end result is a popup window stating that there is not enough diskspace to repair, the same happens when I try to remove. There is plenty of disk space on all four 1TB disks.
I tried running chkdsk but the connection was interrupted.
I managed to get into the whs console and try perfectdisk 10 but again, the connection got interrupted.
I've tried repairing the DB and while it says it's successful a grey popup window appears saying "an unexpected error has occured in the windows home server storage manager" It does not go further into the details.
At this point now I've run out of options, except to just take each drive out and plug them into a PC and use it as a slave disk and pull whatever files I can off of them.
Have I missed any other option?
