We need a replacement for Windows Home Server that does not cost $700

We need a replacement for windows home server that does not cost as much as a PC. 2011 is not really available and 2008 has compatibility problems, because it is based on XP and Server 2003. None of the motherboard manufactures will support XP (thanks to MS) and more recent SATA drives do not work in my motherboard more old.

This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Compatibility of readers for Windows Home Server 2011

In the hard drive Bay 7, that I intend to use a hard disk for the Windows Home Server 2011 operating system and I need to know if the capacity of the hard drive must be the same as the other drives to preserve the full capacity of my storage drives, or can I use a smaller disk as a 300 GB WD drive for the operating system? Is it necessary that all disks in raid 10 for having the same capacity and speed in order to maintain the total capacity of all drives? Thank you.

    Original title: disk Boot and repair

    Hello. I need to fix my windows xp installation and have misplaced my disk. Y at - there one i can download? I have my activation key.

    First of all, there is no a download for Xp without using a torrent to download that can be pirated. Second, you cannot use any Windows disk to perform a repair installation. You need the recovery for the particular computer disc brand and model you have. If you use a recovery disk that was designed for Dell and you have a RESUME, it will install the drivers for the Dell printer that could damage your computer. Third, your activation key is probably a key OEM which means that it won't work with the other Windows Xp. Fourth drive, you do not specify if you have home or professional.

    Can you tell me why you need to repair Xp? There is a good possibility that there is an alternative to the re-installation.

  • Windows Homer Server Media Center not showing the new files I downloaded

    So I installed WHS2011 and thought that the library would easily work. It seems that the new files I put on the server are not get updated when I try and view them through the Media Center. Also when I serach for libraries on another device, it shows me two homeservers, one who say no files present and the other who has files (but does not update the index!). What is going on? (the file types are the same as the other files that are appearing fine)

    It is a basic installation, the only change I made is to move the directory to a new hard drive and update the WHS settings to point to the serverfolder updated on the new hard drive.

    I checked the settings on the media section of sharing control panel and it's on, I also checked on the dashboard and the media of Stentor is enabled.

    Why are my new files not updated in the index?

    Why two media servers on my other devices?
