Hi guys, basically my server has always drove me up the wall!! I really dislike it to be honest
For instance, I have a lot of music it on it in .FLAC format. Yesterday I tried to copy these files 50GB to my computer so i can convert them to mp3. But a short way in the server keeps timing out and the shares are unavilable. Computer tells me it cannot contact the server even though it is switched on. I also cannot contact it so the only way to resolve it is a cold reboot. Now when your having to do this 3 times in a day you start to tell yourself is it really worth it?
Can somebody tell me what is wrong with it? It is driving me mad. All the latest updates are installed and I am on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Home Server=Abit IP35-E, Intel E4500 Core2Duo 2.20GHz, CMaster CM690, 400W ENERMAX , Gigabyte HD 2400 XT, Corsair TwinX 2GB DDR2 6400, 6 X 500GB HDD's, 3 X Samsung 1TB HDD, Windows Home Server OS
EDIT : As of today
Hi guys have ordered a new motherboard. Also got my new disks but as you know im still having the errors. Its constantly timing out when transferring files to my Win 7 Pro 64bit computer. Im trying to get all the data off my server onto this win 7 machine so that I can wipe the WHS and start again.
But due to it constantly timing out so far today since 10am I have only got 150GB of the server out of 5TB.
What can I do to get this dam thing working so I can get all my data off it?
I truly hate the OS. Seriously, it has never worked perfectly since I got it and now I just want my data!
Please any help is appeciated. I know others have mentioned the network card but this card worked perfectly at the start. i haven't always had this problem. The only addin I have installed is advanced admin console and event viewer.
Also in event viewer im getting this error every min "Warning : CqvSvc.exe" and got the error "Error: ESENT Logging/Recovery"
EDIT : Server now
Ok now to top it all off. I cant get into the console no more. The server is on but I am unable to connect to it or the shares.
Dunno what to do
