1138074 2010-09-18 11:54:00 Restore wizard only restores a certain PC that you select from the Server backup. Its a bootable CD.

Some times when using the restore CD,if it cant find the Server, this can be because the Software doesn't have the correct network Drivers, these can be obtained from the Mother board manufacture, as they are just the standard drivers for that board, these can be on a USB drive, as the restore CD does read USB drives.

yep - its reinstalling WHS.

The other Recovery CD will be for restoring backups FROM the Server.

1138079 2010-09-18 21:52:00 I got Windows Home Server ( the OS) on a PC I built, it runs perfectly, never have to touch it.

I do have a second One that has WHS, but its only a storage, thats a little "iffy", but it is the hardware thats the problem, not the OS. Must get around to fixing/rebuilding it one day :D

I have put in Windows Home Server on a Actual HP Server that the company in question were donated by HP (brand new), its been running now for 4 years and never missed a beat, never been turned off.
