Yes it makes sense to not interupt, its just that its a difficult call to make when the OS doesn't provide &nbsp;any progress indicator and it seems as though the server is hanging<br />
Actually I let it run the second time and process ran for about 4hours and server came up!<br />
Just restarting remotely and hoping it will come up again.

Server is back online but not looking as healthy as it used to be - errors in event log e.g. dhcp problems.<br />
In the processing of cleaning up.<br />
It looks like I may have some corruption on the drive.<br />
I'll have to remember next time I do a chkdsk to leave the server alone until scan finishes - easier said than done because users are waitng around for hours.<br />
Thank you for your help<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Event log was showing disk errors and recommended chkdsk /r.<br />
First attempt ran for about 30min.<br />
Due to no disk activity evident, server was cold booted but chkdsk restarted.<br />
Chkdsk is still running!<br />
Is it best to leave alone and hope it finishes?<br />
Can the CHKDSK be interupted.<br />
The server is ML110 with onboard RAID and 2x 160GB SATA drives in RAID 1.<br />
Is it best to check disk with HP tools?

SBS 2003 appears to freeze at stage 4 of 5 with no disk activity indicated by LED.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

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.
