Don't read for now, I just translate my toughts wiht google, and this is odd.
I'll retry a little bit later.
Yesterday my hard drive containing the system has suddenly dropped (a maxtor end 2009) and impossible to recover bad sectors and that a priori 73GB Data Data directory soared because I doubt that I could find, I ' I tried with GetBackData and recuva nothing. Tthe search stops after finding ten files. In short, a big blow calgon and mouth towards maxtor (this is not the first that made me such a blow, but in general there was a SMART alert, here nothing has laché while I redémarrais the computer Finally the monthly updates that I had installed. And that I have old samsung almost ten years running like clockwork).
So I proceeded to reinstall WHS on a new hard disk (one 2.5 "drive it seems that it is more resistant over time), but now I want to know how to recover the data that was on my other discs (3 1TB drives, employed an average of 500 GB) because if I want to use the system it will probably format my hard drive and then lose everything, what I do not want. Currently the drives are simply recognized as such but are not part of the "green" hard drives I had.
Is there a trick to recover the data knowing that I no longer have access to the system so that had dispatched on 4 Data directories that made my server? I know I can copy them to an external hard drive, just as I would have liked to reuse as is.
EDIT: is that if I use the name RESTORECD_DUAL CD (there are 4 CD into the OEM box, the server installation CD, the CD named Wiederherstellungs CD (restoration), the Connector Software CD and CD for OEM integration) maybe I could get something and integrate?
Also, I made a backup of the system it seems to me, but how to find her, she was on the hard drive (I can not read), where on another drive because I had started with a 500GB hard drive (the system) and a 1TB from the beginning is that the backup system would be on the Hard disk??
Finally, although I have changed the hard drive, enabling asks me to go through the phone for activation (this is an OEM version)? Is this normal, knowing that the motherboard (if I understand the OEM activation principle is based on the element), CPU and RAM are the same?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
