Server reinstall on Windows 7 x64 (+ some SSD issues) (Read 1631 times)

	Because I finally wanted to upgrade my server's OS from Strong and Stable to Windows 7, I ordered a new SSD (Mushkin Reactor 480GB) and a Windows 7 license. (Windows 7 is too big for my old 120 GB SSD + server data) Yesterday I received both but after a day of struggling I must conclude that the SSD is completely broken. The drive continues to corrupt data and show bad blocks/sectors. A disk surface test clearly shows the problems: It should be clear that I'll never be able to host a reliable server from this drive, so I removed it from the system, popped in my trusty old Kinston SSD and booted fine again on the old OS. By the time the disk has been replaced, I will need to re-install everything again. Sorry for the extended interruptions.

	ssd's are surprisingly rebust most of the time. 2.5 years, and over 15 tb of writes,still going. i moved most of the static files to a mech drive tho, but all active stuff lives on the ssd with the os. 2 unreal servers, a 4 world mincraft server, voice server voice replaybuffer for ts,apache,mysql,wordpress,irc, chatlink and it servers as a nas.

	My replacement SSD arrived today. I'll be re-attempting my server Windows 7 installation soon, which means more downtime. I keep my current SSD in case I need to go back to my existing config.

	The replacement SSD (Same model, MKNSSDCR480GB) seems to work fine now. Everything seems to be running fine at Windows 7 x64 so I hope this time it will turn out to be all right. There may be some more downtime when I make some an image backup of the new installation but most of the downtime should be over now. This also will be a goodbye to Windows NT 5.x for me as my server with XP x64/Server 2003 x64 was the last of my systems actively running an NT5.x class OS. Starting with Windows 2000 in 1999 these OS-es have served me very well and I'll look back to them with fond memories. But now it is nice to have all my systems running Windows 7 x64, which is my personal favorite Windows of all time and seeing the direction that Microsoft has taken with Windows, I may just stick with Windows 7 with many years to come.

	All tests went fine. I'm currently running a large image backup of the new system and after this the server will be up on Windows 7 x64. And we're back online!
