Need some real help. After much diagnosing my ASUS mini Home Server box this weekend, I discovered that I had (1) 1tb Seagate drive fail that was keeping the box from booting. However, the sys drive (1) 500 gb seagate is failing fast. It appears I had some type of issue happen that has created this mass failure. I've had this box for 4-5 years now without one problem. Done a great job for what I need.
I removed the sys drive out and plugged it into another machine and I can see all of the files. However, when I try to load various files from xls to pdf and cad files, I always get some error. I'm not sure why this is. I copied the drive with acronis to a different drive and still can't open the files. Any ideas on why this is?
I'm going to install a new (1) WD drive and re-install the software. I'm hoping that I can possibly copy the old 500 gb drive to the new box installation. Any possible problems I should look out for?
