hi there

 

 

system drive failed so I installed a new one

 

Installed whs 2011

Installed each of the ten sata drives one at a time

all drive letters in series

installed latest version and added drivepool and changed to z

 

started to install updates and then noticed that on one reboot it just hangs on the Microsoft progress bar ;-(

 

thought of using start up repair but it only allows a system image to be run nothing more

 

any idea folks

 

 

thanks in advance

    Not sure, it sounds like a Windows update issue rather than a DrivePool issue. Perhaps try booting into safe mode and rolling back prior to the last update?

    hi shane

     

     

    it was a clean install

     

    got it working now as it seemed to boot up after numerous attempts and I slowly only allowed a few updates at a time

     

    only left ie 9 and ie 10 as not installed

     

    personally think ie 9 is the issue

     

     

    all up and running now but was quite a scare

     

    thanks for the reply

    Install the license as you did before. It should prompt you to transfer it.

    When you insert your Activation ID (for WHS2011, go to Dashboard, Server Settings, Manage License) it will notice you have used it before and prompt you to transfer it from the old install to the new install.

    From the Licensing FAQ: "We will send you information confirming your order, the Activation ID and activation instructions by email. Save this, it's important."

    If you have lost your Activation ID, you will need to use the form at http://stablebit.com/contact and ask very nicely for it to be resent. :)
