Okay, this is just insane. We have been trying for three days now to upgrade our servers and Internet connection, and we have come up against problem after problem. It just never ends!
Our first problem, was that moving a hard drive to a different chipset renders it unable to boot. So we finally got the data off the drive, and copied it to another drive that had been freshly installed. Right after we did that, the drive failed. We don’t know why exactly, we have been being very careful with static and the like. So we got that drive replaced, and set it up again. Then we proceeded to setup the second server, and you’ll never believe it, that drive failed too. It was a slow death, as it would sort of work, then it would stop working, until eventually, it stopped outright. At that point, we decided we’d get new hard drives and set them up properly.
We currently have both servers running on a single machine right now, but things are not working correctly still (except my blog basically). Tomorrow morning we are going to pick up a the new hard drives, reinstall everything, copy the data, and pending another disaster, everything will be working.
We’re really sorry for the delay. Hopefully we won’t ever have this problem again (our old servers were on old, hard-to-upgrade hardware). After tomorrow, the only downtime I anticipate is a couple hours for DNS settings to propogate when we move to the new fibre optic connection.
Thanks for your understanding.

Welcome to my life. That is what keeps IT guys employed. Nothing ever goes as planned and you always encounter problems that no one else has ever seen or at least they aren’t documented.
The old drive-in-another-chipset problem.
Tackled this at least 2 times.
Boot up the Windows install CD, and act like you want to install Windows again (not repair). When it tells you that there’s Windows on there, you should get the option to basically re-install – which copies all the files again and does new plug-and-play for the new chipset, but all your data should still be there – worked for me.
Attempt at own risk 😉 if you still want to try that route.
