trying to get my Win2k3 Standard R2 server to work.
Problem:
I did some Windows update around 3am this morning but during the update process. I lost Remote desktop connection as my machine is do several attempts to connect with the remote server. I cancel the attempt after several try. I figure i can remote desktop back in again if i wait for a bit but I couldn't re-establish the connection with my remote server. So, I drove to the Datacenter to check it out and it turn out the machine have rebooted and I'm stuck with "NTDetect failed" error message. After some googling, I was trying to fix this error by copying NTLDR and NTDetect.COM into C: but when i tried to use the Win2k3 CD to go into Windows Setup and repair. I got an error message telling me that "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer...".
After some googling, I found the two Maxtor SATA hard disks might be the problem and one soultion that i found was to disable the SATA or set it to IDE since the motherboard have nvida RAID controller onboard. I check the BIOS and the RAID is set to disabled and then i tried to disable SATA and only enable IDE. It still give me the same error message about not able to find any hard disk.
I'm on my last rope here. I'm short of reformatting the hard disk and do a fresh reinstall but I will like to avoid this.
Does anyone know if cancel Remote desktop connection attempt during Windows update process cause this NTdetect failed problem or something else that might related to my hardware. I can assure you that two SATA hard disks shown on BIOS.
The soultion to NTDecte failed problem seem to be just copying NTLDR and NTdectect.com into C: but since i can't even get to Repair mode during Windows setup with no disk install error. Can someone recommand how to solve this problem?
The motherboard that i use is ASUS M2N-MX SE AM2 NVIDIA GeForce6100 / nForce430 and the BIOS is American Megatrends Inc.
ok I installed with using application disk manager 10, but when turned on pc I not see the initial dos screen;
I see directly win xp; (one other pc I have a first step where see for 1 second the dos and where I can, if I want, enter in the bios); in this new pc I not see this step, so I not know how enter in the bios;
I clicked F10 etc other buttons but not work;
at the moment , after I does some error with acronis for make a dual bootI have this error: pc not turn on more win xp but have always error mbr; if I insert a boot floppy I can see the prompt C: but if I write dir I not see noone files I have only the dimension of the disk; if I write format c: not work;
QUESTION: how I can format all and reinstall better the sata disk?
and after, the steps for install on a 2nd partition one linux S.O.
I'm running into a problem with a relatively new (2 months old) server. I have just a few accounts on it, and I'm already noticing unusual loads, for the... load. After some benchmarking with bonnie++ (and plain old "dd") there is clearly a problem.
Isn't a write-speed over 7MB/s reasonable to expect? Also look at the low CPU times...
Anyway running the same test on a similar but older AND busier server showed much better results than this. In fact dd'ing a 1GB file from /dev/zero "finished" in about 10 seconds but then pegged the server at 99% iowait (wa) for a full three minutes (until done being written from cache I assume), bringing load to 15.00
That's all the info I have so far... the data center just replaced the card (which gave no errors) with no effect. Running these benchmark tests is about the extend of my hardware experience.
I currently have a 160gb HDD and its almost full.. I wanted to mount another on the server so can anyone assist me in doing it..
And one more thing..
Currently i have all my data in the /home/user/public_html/ folder which is on my current HD.. Now if i add the second HDD to it how will the data be managed..
I mean if suppose someone uploads a file in my site then in which HDD will it go and when it gets downloaded then how will it know from where to download it..
I am running a dating website and getting more and more users with every day. They can upload from 10 till 100 pictures depending of their account satatus. Server's hard disk will be full in some 5-6 months. I can not attach unlimited amount of hard disks to the same machine. What can I do in this situation?
My server (Fedora Core V and Plesk 8) hard disk broke 2 days ago and my bakckup tar.gz is too old.
Datacenter (fdcservers.net) tried to put old harddisk as slave but server is not recognising the old drive. Datacenter say that can not do anything more.
My question:
Is there any software or company that can recovery my harddisk data?
My server hard disk is crashed badly. The rescue function in the server cannot take part and so I've tried using some recovery software to get back my data.
I've tried using Easy Recovery Professional. It sort all the files by it file type into different folder. I found a folder named .DB, there are also some .ado and . ldb folder too. I guess one of it is my database. The problem now is, i dunno how to read the file.
Do you have any idea to read it? I've tried many recovery system. eg. DiskInternals Linux Recovery, Disk Doctor Linux Recovery.
I have a new CentOS 7, with Plesk 12, CentOS 7 by default has XFS filesystem.
I try migrate sites from another Plesk Server but Plesk agent say: "hard disk quota is not supported due to configuration of server file system" (my CentOS 7)
I added "usrquota,grpquota", then mount -o remount / ; but when I try quotacheck -fmv / I gest this:
[root@ns ~]$ quotacheck -fmv / quotacheck: Skipping /dev/mapper/centos-root [/] quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
but quotaon command works:
[root@ns ~]$ quotaon / quotaon: Enforcing group quota already on /dev/mapper/centos-root quotaon: Enforcing user quota already on /dev/mapper/centos-root
The problem here is why Plesk does not recognize quotas as enabled on CentOS 7??
I took two harddrives out of a windows 2003 server and imported them as foreign disks in my pc
the problem is... when i imported them as foreign disks, windows xp decided to mark every partition on both disks as failed... even though it hasn't failed.
Problem is now, i cant map to a drive... i need to do this so i can do an NT backup from the data off the drive, then restore that data to a new drive.
about the hd,there are two options, the first one is four 7200rpm sata to do raid 10, the second one is two 10000rpm sata to do raid 1, about the performance, which one will be better?
Today we are going to conduct a detailed study of RAIDability of contemporary 400GB hard drives on a new level. We will take two "professional" drives from Seagate and Western Digital and four ordinary "desktop" drives for our investigation. The detailed performance analysis and some useful hints on building RAID arrays are in our new detailed article.
I'm currently in the process of ordering a new server and would like to throw another $50-$70 at the default SATA II 7k 250 GB to increase performance. The server will host a site similar to WHT (php, mysql, and some forum traffic ).
There are three options I can get for the price:
1. Add another SATA II 7k 250 GB and set up RAID 1 2. Add a 73GB 15k RPM SA-SCSI and put mySQL on it. No RAID. 3. Toss out the SATA II 7k and take two SATA 10k 150 GB instead. Put mySQL on one of them. No RAID.
Please keep in mind that the question is budget-related (I know I can get more if I spend an extra $200 but that's not what I want ). Which of the above will make me happiest?
I am having problems with two accounts, I get the following errors:
Code: Failed to copy files storage to destination path. stderr: filemng: Cannot open destination file '/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs/index.html.Chn3rn' System error 122: Disk quota exceeded stdout: filemng: Cannot open destination file '/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs/index.html.Chn3rn' System error 122: Disk quota exceeded
Our IT guy at our company is on vacation in HK and now im the temp..
AND iv brought down our website.. its cold fusion.
I was trying to add pictures to it in the windows enviroment when I would get access denyed when adding a picture (or any file) to the folder, so I right clicked that folder when I was logged in as an ADMIN, and added myself to access that folder, IN DOING SO, i think a few users were removed.. dont know how, down know why,
Now, when i access the website i get:

PLEASE give me something to go on befor somone notices i Killed the site,
HI have an urgent need to get this server up. I am trying to install 2x147gb U320 drives on a Tyan S5372 board with the Adaptec AIC-7901x SCSI controller module. I have setup RAID 1 so far and updated the Bios to latest version as well. For some reason when I specify the additional device drivers for the adaptec card for scsi win2k3 still doesn't recognize the drives.
I don't know what to do now and time is running out. I have tried over and over again with different disks thinking it could be a bad disk however that is not the case. I hooked up a sata drive to this server and win2k3 installed fine.
I have a Win2003 dedicated server (with The Planet) that i use to host a large IPB forum site.
I got it about 3yrs ago and as I was a complete newbie to server management I got Plesk CP installed so that it would take care of all the SQL, PHP and mail installation and setup in one easy go.
I've since found Plesk for Windows to be a complete waste of space.. but it's still on there and has never been upgraded. I don't actually use it as a CP.
Similarly PHP and mySQL have never been upgraded.
Now I've got to the stage where, to upgrade the IPB forum software, I need to upgrade PHP and mySQL.. but looking at the installation, they seem to be embedded in the Plesk installation. They're inside the SWSoft/Plesk/ folders and none of the ini or config files appear to be in the places you'd expect them to be.
My question -
Would these upgrades be simple?? A case of just running an update package?? Or is the fact that PHP/mySQL are embedded in Plesk mean that it'll all mess up?
I'm worried that a failed upgrade will knacker the forum, which is why I've delayed for so long.
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??
I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..
