Hey Jim, thanks for stopping by. I think the problem I had with my Windows Home server might have been something to do with a faulty WD drive that came with my Home Server. After I installed Ubuntu to the hardware, Ubuntu reported that original boot drive (which I ended up using as part of the RAID storage) was having bad sectors. It was beyond repair and WD shipped me a replacement. The question I had was if Windows Home Server had told me that, I could have fixed the problem a lot sooner…. Unfortunately, no love from me anymore since I now moved over to Ubuntu and everything runs fine with the software RAID.

I absolutely love my home server. It’s easily one of the best things I have done to simplify my home network and to reduce the chances of losing pictures/videos. I have the H342 and I haven’t seen a single reboot other than when I have done it on my own.

Nice article. I would think there are a couple options for you to diagnose the problem, but I would think you could correctly diagnose the problem through RDP without needing to add the extra video stuff. Most likely it’s going to be cause by some of the additional add-on software.
