Install Windows On Server Without CD Or Floppy Drive
May 22, 2007
I know this isn't really hosting related, but WHT has always given the best answers to questions.
Right here goes...
I have a new 1U server, which I ordered with no CD drive, as I have a little USB external DVD/CD which I would normally load the OS on.
However I have LOST IT !!!!
So I have been crawling the net for ways to install Windows XP (im just using XP for a very short time for testing!) from either a USB stick or by taking the hard drive out of the server, and copying the CD content onto it from a working windows computer.

I have a Windows 2003 server running on a machine, and I'd like to convert this machine to a Linux (Fedora) machine.
Suppose I don't have a CD-Rom/Floppy/USB drive. Is it possible to install Linux?

I recently build a server with Asus M2N-MX SE motherboard and SuperMicro 14" mini 1u. On the back of the Asus M2N-MX SE manual. it said for RAID driver, i need to create it from the included CD and use a floppy disk. my question is how can i do it without a floppy disk? i have an external DVD-burner that i hook up to usb to install the OS. Is it possible to use a cd to install the driver when i press f6 during Windows2003 installation?
Is it worth the effort to setup RAID 1? I have two Maxtor 500GB SATA disks and using RAID 1 seem to reduce one disk and leave me with 500GB worth of space and is the onboard Nvidia RAID trust worthy? because it said due to chipset limitation, the SATA ports supported by the Nvidia chipset doesn't support Serial Optical disk drives (Serial ODD).

Apparently on of my colo customers sent the server without the OS or CD drive, and wants us to install CentOS 4.4 64 bit.
Any way to get "download" version of it, put it on a floppy, put it in the server and let the server download the rest from the internet (after we enter the IP info, so it can connect)?

I have two servers with SoftLayer. One with cPanel and the other with Windows. The cPanel server has two drives with the second drive being used for backup purpose of all sites on the cPanel server.
Is there a way of accessing this drive from my Windows server so that I can also make backup images of Windows server on this drive directly?

Since my linux server is out of disk space, I just use cifs to mount some drives from the windows server for people to download files (usually 100-200mb/file).
But I found the performance is not good. For example, I need to wait for a long time before the download process begin. Also, it seems the load average of the server becomes high too.
Is there any suggestion? Should I mount the windows drives through cifs? Or should I change to another server which allow me to add more local harddisks? How about if I mount drives in other linux machine, will the performance better?

My server is gradually running out of space as my websites expand. I have a spare second drive - is it possible to reconfigure plesk to use this second drive ? I see I can use the plesk config tool - but looking at the documentation it moves all your sites over to the new drive which I don't want to do ?

Any tools, programs that will execute either with windows on (remote desktop) or install a boot script that will wipe off the hard-drive without going to the datacenter?
This is for windows server 2003.

Anyone know a good program to let me put passwords from opening the hard drives via My Computer or especific folders, shortcuts, programs etc?
Lets per say someone got a hold of my Administrator password to have those important confidential files not to be seen a program like this would help. I am also going to set up that the server is only accessed from 2 secure locations just in case.

1- i did Os Reload with new Hard drive for "home"
2- data "backups" drive lost
3- replaced the old home drive as "/old drive"
4- " /old drive " is now the secondry drive in my server and it has the all sites usres and evry thing
5- what i need , to trasfer, copy this sites from " /old drive " to "home"
but data center said
The /olddrive/home directory contains the contents that were previously in the /home directory. You can copy files from this directory to any other directory on your server.
The command to copy files in the UNIX environment is the "cp" command.
The user directories in /olddrive/home directory contain the web page files for the users. However, simply copying the contents over will not recreate the users or domain entries in DNS/httpd. If you wish these back you will need to recreate them manually or restore them from backups.

Primary drive (centos/cpanel) is corrupt
The server is displaying these errors when I tried to do an FSCK:
Bad inode IO
ext3-fs error (device(8,3)) IO Failure
I am having a new primary installed and old primary set as 2nd drive. I need to recover the cpanel domain accounts from this 2nd drive after I mount it with the method below:
mkdir /backup
mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
However, how do I actually recover these accounts in an automated process via whm? I've done this before with the same matter (corrupt primary drive, mount as 2nd, etc) but cannot exactly remember the proper steps.

I just purchased a brand new 10K 150GB drive. How can I take an exact copy of my current drive and transfer everything over to the new drive? I think I need to create a snapshop, or mirror it somehow.
What software will do this? I was told trueimage, but its very pricy, is there anything else?

I have a dedicated box and I started getting Input/output errors today.
I tried:
# fsck
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
then I tried:
# fsck -a -t ext3 /dev/hda2
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
My data is backed up, so was going to ask for a reimage, but is this an indication of bad hardware? Should I ask for a replacement drive? Is there anything else I should try on my own before going to the host?

I need to remove CentOS from an old office PC. Dont get me wrong I use Linux almost on everything but for specific reason I need to get XP back into this old AMD PC.
I cannot install XP. I cannot remove Linux. This install is devil. It will not let me remove it. I tried everything. XP disk goes black screen and stays there, this is happens with some hardware and you have to remove all Linux partitions to me the Windows XP disk install start.
The problem I CANT remove it.
I go to rescue mode, or interactive, mode, it doesnt matter, I cannot remove linux.
"fisk -l"
Go to my partition
fdisk /dev/sda2
d for delete and it just outputs:
No partition is defined yet!
I tried lots of ways around it and always that message. Linux doesnt let me remove the partitions.
How in the world do I get XP back now?

I'm trying to install WinCache on the Plesk server so that plugins like W3 Total Cache for WordPress can utilize it. As far as I can tell, its really just an extension for PHP, however I can't seem to turn it on within an individual hosting account's PHP.INI settings (it doesn't show up in phpinfo()).
Where is the PHP installation that Plesk IIS accounts would be utilizing, that I would copy the DLL to in order to get the extension running?

Did a fresh WordPress install on a subscription. I was able to install new plugins via WordPress, and directly upload a theme file without any issues. However, when I tried to use the WordPress import too (uploading an 11MB XML file) I received an Internal Server Error, which brought the entire site down. No part of the WordPress site is accessible. Odd.
Checked the Plesk log - no errors there.Nothing in the IIS logs that shows an error either.When looking at the domain's logs, I see the 500 entry logged, but don't see any sort of reason for it having happened, to be able to resolve:
2015-03-23 15:43:59 W3SVC8 blackbird 66.147.239.188 GET / - 80 - 66.147.239.188 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+10.0;+Windows+NT+6.2;+WOW64;+Trident/6.0) - - tealeafswny.com.66-147-239-188.homeruncreative.com 500 0 0 331 288 3750

I am trying to put all the pieces together. I get a web host with plesk, (currently looking at hostgator VP servers) and I upload my site files to the FTP that they provide. Now I have a hosted website and plesk 11 as the control panel (hopefully).
I am currently learning dreamweaver to build sites, but my questions is this : How to i integrate everything ? i.e.. the hosting plans, web presence builder etc. automatically into my site ? in other words, how do i put lets say a button on my page that the customer would click on to open the web presence builder. or click a button to choose a specific plan specified in the plesk panel and proceed to payment.
Are there some sort of codes to put in div tags in the design of the page that would achieve this ?

I registered my domain yesterday and the company where I registered (Webstekker) forwarded me to this website where they obviously have there websites. I wanted to start immediately with my website. I can install Wordpress properly, so will it show easy fast made html text files.
Joomla is the one I want and need to use. I tried to install it via the application tab in either httpdocs and httpdocs/joomla. I tried custom install via the application tab, but didn't work.
Then I tried to copy the files myself via FTP to the server and tried to install it again. Made MySQL databases, but I get stucked on the last installation page where it did ask me if I wanted to install some examples. Whatever I choose it won't go further. Nvm, when I go back to the domain itself, it says I have to delete the installation map (as it should ask when install is actually finished). When I delete the installation map, my domain has no content, nothing. I can however, login via the domain/administrator
So there is something installed, the back end is working, but a website also needs some frontpage right?
The domain we are talking about is[URL]

I currently have a dedicated server with a single hard drive in it with about 800 cPanel accounts. I am purchasing a new server with identical specs but will have 2 hard drives in RAID1 from the same data center.
Is it possible to make an exact image of the first server to avoid any configuration loss on the new server? I have already spoke to the data center about moving the current IPs to the new server and I know moving the cPanel accounts can be done in WHM but I would like to preserve all of the server settings, configurations, and background scripts that I have running.
