    Hello

    I currently have the problem that my Windows Home Server 2011 stops booting with the 0xc000000e error code.

    Of course, I searched the web and found the following article:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2261423

    Can I boot from my installation DVD. "Windows loading files.

    While two options:

    -new installation

    -repair

    I click on repair. The next screen prompts to choose a restore image. ???? No other options or possibilities. No command line, nothing.

    OK boot with F8. Start menu. No repair option. Only "safe mode with cmd. Tried this. Then download the same GUI as before. Same two options. No CMD and taxation not possibility to use STARTREP. EXE.

    Any suggestions?

  • Cannot partition on Windows Home Server

    The problem:
    We are currently the main C drive partitioned 20 GB and we cannot repartition try with several different partition tools.  The error via a tool, it's "the volume you have selected cannot be extended.  Other tools to give similar messages.  The hard drive is 250 GB RAID 1 mirror.

    What we tried:

    A suggestion according to the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841650 does not include the home server edition so can't take the risk that she clearly serve States own risk.  We tried Acronis partition software, G-Parted, diskpart.exe command BACK and Macrorit http://macrorit.com/partition-magic-manager/server-diskpart-fails-to-extend-system-partition.html

    Other suspicious Info:

    1. System Properties window says that the operating system is 'Windows Home Server'.

    2 window Information System indicates that the operating system is 'Windows 2003 Small Business Server. "

    The person who owns that server call purchase Home Server edition.  Not sure if this is related or not, but it's conflicting information to find a solution.

    Bottom line, even if that server is outdated and not fully supported any longer, we hope to keep alive a little more long if possible if we simply repartition C drive and increase the free space.  Other than replacing the server suggestions are appreciated because they are not willing to spend the money to replace the entire server.

  • Windows Home Server disk failure

    Excuse the language, but I'm bricks now. I have aHP Ex470 with a volume of system of 500 Gig and two 500 gig drives. I have a seemed all our data are spread over two discs, but I can't be sure. Duplication is enabled.

    He acted a bit strange in recent weeks and now, after a reboot, it just flashes red on the status indicator and it does not start. I also hear a worrying thud. I removed the two storage drives , then it starts, with some caveats of course. I could start with one of the installed disks but not the other.

    I guess one of the disks is scrap. but the data should not always be safe? When I look at inte console under shared folders, it says on most of them that they're fails. In addition, some open but others, files in the ajecent folder, does not open because the program does not recognize the file format, even if it's the appropriate icon. And what should be my next move? I got a disc of 2 gigabytes, I intend to chuck in, if I do, will the system and data be safe? I know when the disc has not shown the other day, could not open some of the files, so as you probably understand, I am really worried now...

    Windows Home Server 2011 on LAN

    I had a hard drive failure partial who gave no symptoms or errors except a VERY slow start-up and operation.  I tried to do a restore of the entire system of my Home Server 2011 backups to see if, perhaps, just the image was corrupt.  USB was created and all drivers copied from pilots for the full system restore folder.  Has started the full restoration of the system and loaded the missing NETWORK adapter driver by using the scanner for drivers.  Driver support was successful but no lights NIC and the message "cannot find server".  NETWORK card was working fine before, even with the bad hard drive and also after the abandonment of the restoration.  Installed the new drive hard C:-System and that was the main problem, BUT..., the later to restore attempt was always the NIC starts not problem.  Tried the driver directly at Gigabyte support and drivers drivers for the full restoration of the system of records from several different backups.  No love.  Just NIC does not start after the specified load successful pilot.

    All good advice?

  • Windows Home Server - Hardware requirements

    Good afternoon

    I am interested in creating a solution of Windows Home Server. I bought a Windows Home Server 2007 OEM media with the intention of creating my own solution, but never got around him a few years ago. My question for the community is the following: what are the hardware requirements for this solution?

    For me, it's a question I think I should know, but for some reason any I am at a loss! I think I need at least 2 computers. The first is the server itself, the second is a stand-alone computer that connects to the network.

    If you can give me some of the basic information I should know before diving into the Home Server I would really appreciate it. If you have all cards/articles that can help you with representation on what I need to do this would be as phenomenal.

    Thank you in advance!

  • 2011 on hp ex495 windows home server setup

    I have a HP Ex495 running the former home server, I want to upgrade to Windows Home Server 2011.  The EX 495 has no dvd player, no port monitor and keyboard/mouse.

    I tried to install WHS 2011 by loading a disk to another computer and then transfer this player to the EX 495.  The installation is completed without error on the own dirve, but the EX 495 will not load the player created on another computer.

    There are comments on the web that the 2011 WHS can be installed by using a client, but there are no links that I can find of this process.  There are comments that show how to load WHS 2011 using a flash drive and an ini file.  But the ini file does not look to contain the answers to the many questions that arise during the installation process.

    What is the best way to install WHS 2011 on a HP EX 495?

    Can you please ge to work on that. I like the access to files on the road and I manually configure the router from UPN did not work, but occasionally it is unavailable. The running configuration via the Windows Home Server interface always fails at the step of port forwarding and tells me to put in place manually.

    Can't we at least try the reset and see if that will help. If ever after the reset and reconfiguration, get you the same question, especially on this particular device on the list several times, it may be a router issue and possibly a firmware issue.

  • G460: unable to copy files from Windows Home Server

    Hi, I just a G460 for my children. The problem is that it does not copy the files on my Windows Home Server. I tried wired and wireless access to my network, but there is no difference. -I can browse the files on my server very well - I can create short text on my server files (IE. I have write access) - OS Win 7 x 64 on laptop - disabled Avast, no difference - other PC (XP, Vista, Win7) can copy the same file easily - reproducible with other files (test file executable is 500 MB and 400 M movie file)-laptop connects to the internet download fine, of a file of 500 M finish at reasonable speeds - copy start , stalls and then she complains about the network connection disappeared. A simultaneous ping to the server shows that it is not correct. The connection never drops. This is reproducible with 100bT wired and Wireless-N. Don't know what there is to say about it. It seems that there is a configuration problem somewhere I hope it can be fixed because otherwise this laptop is going to come back. Thanks, Sander PS the paint job on these laptops is terrible. Gloss black? All - ALL - print digital watch. The laptop has 2 minutes old and already he looked mean. Not the best choice Lenovo. My old T61 seems better

  • Windows Home Server help please with the reader.

    I have a Windows Home server in my office that has a single hard drive in it.  I continue to be told to use the repair utility when I turn on my computer.  I bought a new drive for the server.  Now that I need help, it's how to duplicate the new disc of the former, is there a way to do it, or do I have to copy all the content on another machine on the network, and then install the operating system from the beginning.  I want to avoid the loss of data.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    There are essentially two options available

    Place the new drive as the primary drive and keep the original as a secondary disk. Install WHS as a repair install and it should pick up original and index folders and re-create the tombstones for them. Then use the move to folder option in the console to make the folders shared the second partition of the disk. However, the indexing process is quite intensive and is perhaps not ideal with a line of demarcation for lack of drive.

    Alternative, remove the old drive and install the new, install WHS as a new facility that will create partitions C and D, including the new shared folders empty. Once the installation is finished, put the old one in as second drive or if this is not possible an external drive dock and then copy the contents of the old drive in the new. That would be my preferred option because it is perhaps easier and safer.

    There is no option to save and copy and settings users, even with a repair installation, you must manually recreate the users.

  • How can I have my client Win8 continue to be supported by Windows Home Server v1?

    I've updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and now my Windows Home Server v1 cannot back up my laptop. The connector software complains about volume errors and complains about the ESM may not take a snapshot of the customer volume. Help, please!

    None of the two versions of Windows Home Server can back up systems of Windows 8. The first version of WHS is no longer supported and probably will not be updated to add this support.  Windows Home Server 2011 can be updated, the last word of Microsoft on this subject was "Stay Tuned!"

    If you want a definitive answer, post it in the Windows Home Server support forums.
