Hello. After power outage, Windows 2008 R2 stuck at green progress bar (bar keep moving) My computer is Dell T110 sever and I already checked hardwares with Dell technician. I tried 1. Startup repair with Windows R2 CD - system found no error. 2. All the options in Advanced startup options a. Repair your computer - when I run it, it stuck at green progress bar and the bar didn't move. b. Any Safe mode option - boot stops on storport.sys file c. Last Known Good Configuration - same thing happens as normal startup‎ Basically I can not run my windows. Is there any other option to try instead of reinstalling? Please help me out. Thank you

Have you removed any hardware or some thing recently like HBA card or driveres ? or do you have any hba cards attached to any external sorage devices ? http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

No, I didn't remove anything and I don't have any external storage devices. It happens just after power outage. Thank you.

If there is any additional hardware on/in this server, remove it and see if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, wipe and reload. At some point it eats up more time trying to fix this then to do that. Especially if it is not up anyhow. If there is data to be recovered (There was a backup, right?), then you would need to slave in the drives (Not raid, right?) to try to recover data. Good Luck, James

Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't have backup and it is raid. Today I tried to run Chkdsk from booting CD, and I couldn't see any hdd driver. I did some research and lots of people said chkdsk wouldn't work on raid 5 mode. I try to find other solution and let you know guys.

Doing a google search, there seems to be some tools out there that "might" recover data off of the drive as a RAID system... You will, however, need to do some reading up on this to see if it is worth the time getting one of these tools: RAID Reconstructor - http://www.runtime.org/raid.htm - Seems they have a 30 trial specifically allowing you to see if this raid system is recoverable, further, they have a bootable CD ROM image solution so if the system is not bootable (as in your case, read towards the bottom). Diskternals - http://www.diskinternals.com/raid-recovery/ - Seems they have a bootable CD image with their tools as well. There are definately others out there. Will just take some time investigating. Good Luck... James

I tried both of software and I didn't work. I did some research and I also tried bootrec commands but computer couldn't find physical HDD - there was no volumes. I don't know because of Raid mode or not. Anyway I fix it. I checked HDD and one of HDD (Raid 5) was gone. I know it supposed to boot anyway because two of them still good. Magic happens when I changed the bad one to new one. Still I have things to work but I am glad that I can boot my computer and see the windows. Thanks for all your support.

My guess is, it is necessary to start into prompt mode, mount DVD and copy storport.sys from DVD.

Once this is copied then what? Extract it decompress it? If so where do I put it? Basically, I need more details please.
