Exchange and store are on drive with bad sectors. Complete. * Exchange 2003 fully patched on WIndows 2003 E fully patched installed on Dell SC1425 (1U 2 160GB SATA drives on SATA controller, No RAID) * Had a recent Acronis snapshot of the failing server * Deployed a virtual Exchange 2003 on HyperV 2008 * Moved all mailboxes to secondary server * Rehomed all folders to secondary * Pointed RUS to secondary and rebuilt * Modify DNS and firewall accordingly (SMTP, SSL, HTTP, OWA) * Made secondary the routing group master * Reissue SSL for secondary server * Replace drives in SC1425 and rebuild server with everything on c: and Acronis everything once daily to D: and to backup * Considering staying virual. No performance degradation but HyperV is a Dell 2950 III 32GB big dog. * Play Q2 then Q3 for about 10 minutes. * Wonders why any Congressperson would vote against the campaign disclosure bill. * Bah * Thanks for all the remarks, truly appreciated!

Exchange and store are on drive with bad sectors. Server has two physical drives, OS on C: and Exchange on D:. D: is reporting bad sectors so can't image it. If I recall correctly, can't I get a backup of the stores then uninstall and reinstall Exchange on healthy drives and then restore the Information store?
