It's not been a good week for our server. Lots of NTFS errors saying the disk is corrupt and unusable and to run the chkdsk utility. I run the chkdsk utility and it gets stuck in an endless loop trying to fix one particular error. Spent all day Saturday on the phone with Dell trying to repair, but in the end they say a clean install is what I'm going to have to do. Sigh.
The IT guy who set this up for us got another job in another town, but I emailed him yesterday and he insists this is exactly what the Bare Metal Restore is for. Dell says it's the partition and the BMR won't help. Should I try it anyway? Do I have anything to lose?
The weird part about all this - if not for a chkdsk message that popped up on a restart I wouldn't know there was a problem. The server's running fine, everyone can work off it, the data is there, SBS Console shows no errors, and I'm getting regular backups. I'm not sure what to make of it.
