I have a server whose mobo crashed. &nbsp;New mobo installed by same manufacturer but slight differences in contollers. &nbsp;I had to add a sata controller card on this one to accept the hard drives. &nbsp;The original setup had a mirror which was broken and no long in use. &nbsp;So data was going to the c: and e: drives. &nbsp;Running Server 2003 service pack 1.<br />
<br />
I know the data was still entact. &nbsp;and I do have a backup using NT backup. &nbsp;After reassembly - the OS starts to boot .. makes it to the MS booting up panel then reboots. &nbsp;Is there a risk to the data (there is an SQL database involved) to run a recovery console command like bootcfg /rebuild to get it to boot as orignally? &nbsp;<br />

Any suggestions?<br />

Server 2003 crash ... new mobo / hd controller

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
