What Happened to RedYawning
About three weeks ago, the c: drive failed on RedYawning, my server that basically runs and hosts all my life (including websites, photos, etc). Luckily, this was just the system drive and it did not have any data on it. I keep all my data on a RAID-1 mirror, the d: drive of the machine. I ordered a new drive from NewEgg, popped it in, reinstalled Windows (2003 Server this time), and spent about two hours reinstalling everything. It was really quite easy with Windows Server, just mostly fiddilng knobs and dials to have it look like it did on the old Windows Server 2000. The server is back in action now, and back to blogging business for me.
