Windows Home Server – Home Computer Restore

This post has 25 views

I finally did it, one of the most demanding experiments in qualifying Windows Home Server is to actually put the Home Computer Restore to use and completely restore a damaged partition table across my home network.  I didn’t plan on actually having to do this but I was playing around with the MBR on my main xp machines and in the process… damaged the partition table.  So, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to actually put the Windows Home Server on the spotlight and see if it can actually do what it says it can do.

It took a long time and I had a few glitches along the way, including a connection lost during the restore procedure and forced me to start over from the beginning.  It took roughly 4 hours to run the restore procedure (the fact that my router is only rated for 100BaseT didn’t help, should really upgrade to 1000BaseT).  In the end, I was finally able to restore everything to the original state!

I am overjoyed!  It worked like the way they say it would, it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, but it worked!  I am sure we often hear we have to backup our computer before doing any major work on the operating system, but how many of you can actually say “Yes, I have a full backup on my computer that is being updated on a daily basis?”  I wasn’t able to say that before and could only twist my fingers and hope for the best, but no more.  I can proudly say that from this day hence forth, I have my Microsoft Windows Home Server OEM with URP1
to watch my back now!
