To remove a HDD
You must first remove a hard drive from your server storage on the Server Storage tab of
the console.
From the Server Storage tab in the Windows Home Server Console, right-click on the hard
driver you want to remove. The Remove a Hard Drive Wizard starts. It first determines if
you have enough remaining server storage for your files, folders, and backups and enough
remaining server storage to continue Folder Duplication. If the remaining server storage is
sufficient, the wizard attempts to move the files, folders, and backups from the hard drive
to the remaining server storage.
The wizard first examines the hard drive and the remaining server storage. If you have enough
remaining server storage, you can continue and the wizard moves the folders and files from
the hard drive to the remaining server storage. You can then disconnect the hard drive.
If you do not have enough remaining server storage, you can lose Folder Duplication,
permanently lose files, permanently lose all of your personal computer backups, or any
combination of the three. The wizard calculates the exact consequences and shows them
to you before the hard drive is actually removed from server storage.
To avoid these consequences, do the following:
1. Cancel the wizard.
. Add another hard drive to server storage by using the Add a Hard Drive Wizard. The
additional hard drive provides enough server storage for the Remove a Hard Drive
Wizard to move the files.
. Choose the hard drive that you want to remove, and then run the Remove a Hard
Drive Wizard again to move the files and folders.
4. Disconnect the hard drive.
Repair HDD
If one or more volumes on the hard drive are corrupt, the hard drive needs to be repaired.
You can repair a hard drive from the Server Storage tab of the console.
Select the hard drive, and then click Repair.
If you select an unhealthy hard drive and then click Repair, the Repair a Hard Drive Wizard
starts. It attempts to fix errors by scanning the hard drive using the CHKDSK utility to verify
the integrity of the hard drive.

Note
CHKDSK is a Windows program than can detect and repair errors on a hard drive.
It will correct disk errors, if possible, and rebuild shared folders duplication, if necessary.
You will lose all files on a hard drive if you physically disconnected it from
your home server without running the Remove a Hard Drive Wizard and
you can no longer find the hard drive to connect it again. To protect your
files you must run the Remove a Hard Drive Wizard.
