Finally the server is back up after a three day outage. Started 2006 off with a bang with among other things having the hard drive go bad in the server. Thought I could quickly swap out the hard drive with one from another computer but it turns out the other computer didn't have an extra drive like I thought it did. Luckily I still had the old server so I was able to put that one online to serve as a mail server and router for my network till I could spend some time fixing the other server. At least I was able to back up a bunch of stuff off the drive before it completely died. now I just have to piece all that stuff back together.
