Upcoming wewbcast! You got issues! Disk issues and no backup, what are your recovery options?
It’s 3:00am, you’ve been working on your non-booting server for 12 straight hours and that black screen with the little blinking cursor taunts you as if it were saying You….Will.…Never.…Fix….Me….Go….Home….! There is no error message. It never gets to a Last Known Good or Safe Mode boot option. It just posts, beeps and blinks. What do you do? Format and reinstall? But we have important data. Restore from backup? Backup?!? You’re joking right? Your customer hasn’t backed up their server since the night after the last critical failure. There’s only one option. Stay and fix it. It posts with no beep codes so the hardware should be OK right? But it doesn’t quite load any OS files so I can’t blame Microsoft….yet. Hmmm, it must be a disk issue. We can fix it. We have the technology. In this webcast we will discuss the boot process and the critical disk structures that are involved during boot. We will learn how to use disk editing tools to look at these on disk sectors and see what they should look like. We will also discuss how to fix many common disk related issues such as corrupted Master Boot Records, corrupted or missing Boot Sectors and exactly what and where is the Master File Table? Join us as we begin a new year of BOB technical discussions for servers.
