Hi guys,
Last friday I decided to add a descrete video card to my server as graphics were poor and slow with onboard video, since I installed SBS2008 premium my server has been extremely slow at times, sometimes responding like a PIII while it's a recent i5 760 with 6GB Ram and RAID5 drives. The server taking way too long to shut down for installation of new video card, I decided to pull A/C plug as I was in a rush, this in turn made windows unbootable and 2 of the 3 hard drives noisy as if they were stuck..after a little nudge on the drives they started functionning normally but still no luck in getting back into O/S. I tried everything from a repair install, to chkdsk to sfc /scannow, no luck, I only get a cursor in safe mode with a black background and nothing in regular or last know config.
I then decided to take a spare drive and install Win7 to get users going again, was able to access that raid drive as slave in order to allow users to access their data but SBS O/S is pretty much dead. I had SQL setup for M$ business contact manager which I had not backed up for a while, considering I have access to the faulty O/S drive as slave, can I withdraw the BCM SQL database? How would I go about doing this and where is it located?
Thanks all for your time, has been hell for me this week end with all this
