  • PowerEdge 2850 Windows Server 2012 do not start

    Well, I have a PE 2850 that was loaded to the top with Windows Server 2012 at the beginning of the year last as part of our upgrade to Windows 7. Even though I know that Windows Server 2008 is the latest version of Microsoft to officially support the SCSI interfaces as RAID PERC 4E/DI included in the 2850 card, I was able to work around in first install 64-bit Server 2008 with the SCSI drivers and then doing an upgrade online to the 2012 server.

    Everything went fine for the last year and half, but when I got to work yesterday, the server had crashed and he was sitting on the screen of the BIOS with the following error message:

    Memory/battery problems were detected. The adapter has recovered, but cached data have been lost. Press a key to continue.

    I pressed on enter and the server started to move to a preparation repair screen Windows where the progress bar is not long about 80% of the way and then froze for more than an hour. Subsequent attempts to restart in safe mode led to the server of freezing for several minutes before restarting once more to this same error message at the Windows logo screen. I can pull up to the management of the RAID and see my partitions still there, and I even loaded my readers in an old PE 2600 to check consistency on the logical drives (no problem found). However, the old 2600 is 32-bit architecture and it won't try to boot into the operating system.

    At this point, I'm really just trying to get a full backup of my system. I don't mind getting a new server, but I don't want to keep throwing money at this old piece of 12 year of equipment without knowing if it works or not. The problem is that 2012 uses ReFS, and none of the recovery programs I found can access my logical volumes. Boot from the OS Installation disk in the recovery console doesn't work, because the OS disk does not include SCSI drivers native to be able to see the score of the OS or the data partition.

    I think I'll call a few services data recovery tomorrow, but I would check here for ideas first. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    Microsoft has removed native SCSI support with 2008 R2, but R2 2008 provided Dell drivers for the PERC. These drivers work for the installation of Server 2012 as well.

    Memory/battery message: all stop and order the memory of replacement for the controller RAID, 4D554 part number. Nothing related to the operating system won't work (installation, repair, etc.) until you do. This question is very specific to the PERC 4e/Di on the 28 x 0.

    The 2850 is not 12 years. First of all, he started 10 years ago to shipping.

  • Windows Server 2012 does not seem to recognize the space between the program and files

    I installed 'R' in D:\Program Files.
    Then I need to install another application that must refer to this path and validate during its installation. Installation of the next application saying that there is a "Invalid Version of R.

    If I install R in the following directories, it is recognized and my next application installed successfully:
    C:\Program Files
    Files S:\Program
    D:\R

    Windows Server is not recognize the R application properly installed in "D:\Program Files." Windows runs into the space between "Program" and "Files" and put an end to the execution of this order.

    The application I am trying to install the message 'Invalid Version of R' returns because he can't run the command check correctly. Because nothing is returned from the R.exe, he is unable to continue. This issue seems to be related to Windows and once R.exe can be run correctly D:\Program files, I would expect demand to continue to install. Is anyway getting D:\Program Files to be recognized as the other 3 directories I mentioned?

    I just took a glance on the MSDN web site. FFL you downloaded is "Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (x 86) - CD (English)" that contains only the updated SP2 files. What you should look for is a file named for example en_windows_server_2003_with_sp1_standard.iso 'Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with SP1 (English)'.

  • POWEREDGE T410 WILL NOT LOAD WINDOWS SERVER 2008 RC 2

    Replaced the power supply today, and now windows does not go past the bars windows green screen loading. Poster on x07B blue screen error.

    Windows player was put out of the server and connected to a pc on a regular basis to make sure it worked (before we knew that it was the power supply) and I think that the boot file has been altered or modified or something.

    For some reason, there is either no restore point.

    Help, please! Thank you.

    Hello

    If you move a drive to a controller that writes data to the disc differently that the controller that data were originally written with it will corrupt the existing data.

    At some point, you will probably need to reinstall the operating system. You can use the Windows recovery environment to try to get the operating system again. You may be able to get enough features to backup data, but it is unlikely that the operating system will never stable again. The data could also be corrupted.

    The amount of corruption that has occurred will depend on how much you tried to do it on the other controller. When this other controller writes data to the disk it replaced sections of data that were previously on the disk. The other controller may have initialized the disc or you have lack of data segments in different places along the route.

    If these data are essential and you do not have a backup, you must then contact a data recovery company. More you write on the drive the more you risk data, so any attempt to retrieve by using WinRE could make it more difficult to recover data.

  • What are the requirements to load Windows 7 DSP on an existing PC

    Hi people,

    I have an existing PC on which I wish to install Windows 7 OS DSP/OEM.

    What is the minimum requirement of the material that I need to upgrade to remain legally compliant?

    Some retailers to group the DSP version with a hard drive or a mouse. Is that enough to comply with the requirements of the permit in the DSP/OEM OS?

    I would have thought that the requirement would be a new motherboard at least.

    Anyone who can shed some light on the obligation to legally charge the DSP/OEM OS on a PC of exisitng?

    Thank you

    It would seem that I am not clear.

    I know that the hardware requirements to run Windows 7.

    The contract of specific DSP/OEM that this version can not be used to upgrade the operating system to an existing PC.

    Do I have to replace my existing system while it is considered a new PC and I can then legally load a DSP/OEM operating system.

    I don't know how to put it any clearer than that.

    As with any OEM license:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades with the exception of the upgrade to an different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    What do you mean by people with disabilities?

    You are not able to boot from the CD?

    In these cases, please press the C button immediately after switching on the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
    Alternatively, you can try to press the F12 key instead of the C key. This should allow the start menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as boot device and might try to boot from the CD-ROM Server Win.
