Might be time to put the HD in another box and see if the filesystem and the moodle DB can be salvaged.

Fellow Geeks: I have an SME server (that runs our schools Moodle) that looks as if it got hit by lightening. After the storm, I tried to boot the system back up, and there was no power. I got a new powersupply, and just installed it, and I still have no power. I have tried a couple of power cords, as well as a couple of different outlets, but nothing. Is it possible that the cord from the power button, or the motherboard connection for the power button, got zapped as well (never heard of this, but with computers, anything is possible)? If so, is there anything that can be done to fix this, or am I going to have to purchase a new tower and move this hard drive over to it, and hope for the best (IE that this hard drive will work in a new case)? Thanks. -- William Upp Computer and Business Instructor Technology Coordinator Bluffs Schools Bluffs, IL | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org |
