I'n trying to boot a failed system with the WHS restore CD (burned from latest ISO from Microsoft). Unfortunately, the restore CD is not booting properly. It does start to boot (ie, this is not a boot device problem)... the restore OS get all the way to a black Windows desktop with a while mouse cursor in the middle.
But then nothing happens. No more UI or progress. No way to select any kind of restore.
Has anyone seen this before?
It turned out to be a dud hard-drive. Once I replaced the HD I was able to start the rebuild. Now I just have to wait for 4 hours. – Simon Gillbee – 2010-07-31T19:35:26.050
