Server 2003, running raid 5, missing MBR/unable to boot...


hello microsoft,

we had power circuit failure prevented airconditioning working , therefor overheating our dc1!! , killing other dc2 completely!

when start dc1 wants load windows files , can choose options recovery earlier functional state, cmd, , on.
our problem in beginning said:
"unmountable_boot_volume" when put in our windows server 2003 disk, wait load , press r repair comes following:
"no valid system partitions found, setup unable continue"

what on earth can either chkdsk or fixmbr command here fix mbr corruption or boot.ini file seems missing?

currently have no logon server (ad) because bdc died 100%!

additional when boot , press f8 see disk state can see says:
"raid 5, disks: ok"

hi,

it raid adapter needs specific drivers work. might reason recovery media cannot find windows installation. might able perform chkdks if boot using vendor supplied recovery media.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff560355(v=vs.85).aspx shows troubleshooting information on bsod encounter. this  errror might occur due changes in disk or controller configuration (or of course plain disk corruption). if changed physicaly on server, revert changes.

i suggest contact microsoft support directly for on urgent issue!

it might worth contacting hardware vendor support.
