I'm new here too. Have just dived into the WHS world with the 120day evlauation copy. Looking forward to using your site for real in the next few days/weeks/months/etc. Has been a great source of info for getting ready. The biggest problem I had installing the Eval copy was converting the ISO file to a bootable DVD. Whilst various sites advised in one line what to do. It took 2.5hrs and a number of coasters to get there. WIndows, Nero and various other Burners didn't do what I wanted. Used Alcohol 120% in the end and it was done in 2mins. Simple when you use the right tools. A "Installing the Eval copy" thread might be nice, other than that am rubbing my hands with excitment.... :-) HI There.

It installed WHS but it seems that the home server part of it isn't there as I can't connect to it with the connector. It just seems to act like a Windows 2003 server with WHS branding. I wasn't able to boot off the flash drive. Does anyone know how to install WHS using this method? Thanks a lot!

Yes, as of Windows Home Server Power Pack 1, any data corruption issues (which apprently only affected a handful of people) were completely sorted out. We're now on Power Pack 2…

Your data is absolutely fine.

Enjoy the eval!

Is it fair to say that all the disasterous problems with WHS in the start where it would lose/wipe data and kill raid arrays is a thing of the past? I'm assuming service packs etc have sorted these issues out? Back in the day, everyone i spoke to regarding WHS said "don't touch it with a bargepole!" Is it better now? Thanks for your efforts on bringing info to the masses. :) Hi, i'm new here too and have just installed WHS eval edition on my rig at home, although not really played around with it yet.
