Guys, Thanks again for all of the help! and yes when the 2003 server was put in it was put in with a "RAID" the owners probably thought it was bug killer :) As for Linux I was a bit apprehensive about it until a friend of mine told me he had, had one up for 7 years with out a re-boot or any...

Jock, I think you are right, I will see if I can find a compatible drive (it may take awhile) but if nothing else this thread makes a great tutorial on how to trouble shoot a drive! Thanks for all of your help and i will let you know if I find a drive 52chev

Jock, When I go to the Partition Tables I get a big red screen that says error report. Description DOS Partition (12 bit FATS) relative sector 63 and size 21105 do not match the ending cylinder 1, head 80 and sector 63. SEVERITY WARNING - Program execution may not continue normally I...

I am running Vrepair off of the floppy using the command "LOAD A:VREPAIR" IS this OK or do I need to get it onto the DOS Partition? 52chev

Jock, No problem on the how long it's been, you are still way ahead of me. When I go through the steps at the end of the prompts I get the message "Previously loaded module was used re-entrantly" Not sure what this means but VRepair still says "There are no volumes defined". 52chev

The diskettes seem to have been lost in some black hole a long time ago.

Unfortunately the owners are not the ones who will suffer as they just say do everything by hand and don't realize what it will take to do that in time and stress. on the bright side I did get them to commit to having a new program written for our "new" 2003 server but that will take several...

Jock, I am not sure which drive you are referring to as the "current" drive, If you mean the one that was originally in the server it is totally toast. I had a data recovery place look at it and they could not pull any information from it. the heads had worn clear through the shiny surface of...

Jock, I loaded Vrepair onto a floppy and then brought the server up and followed the following instructions: Now you should be returned to a Colon prompt ( : ). At this prompt you will need toload the VRepair program. If you do not have a colon prompt, change to the Consolescreen by executing...

goombawaho, The directory list is from C:and unfortunately "They" are the owners of the company. they are so far removed from the real nuts and bolts of the company that they can't/won't understand that just because they did everything by hand back in the day doesn't mean that you can do it...

goombawaho, I totally agree with your statements in the second half of your response and no offense taken. The powers that be have been told repeatedly by myself and others that it was just a matter of time until we lost everything, but they did not want to spend the money to have a new program...

Gentlemen, Thanks for the info. I started the server and then downed it and exit to DOS. Did a DIR and there is no vrepair.nlm in the folder, so it looks like I will need a copy of vrepair. I am not sure why the drive went belly up as it was something I found stuffed in a far corner of the...

I posted the below on the netware 3 forum but then noticed that it has had no activity for a couple of years so I am posting to this forum in hopes that someone takes pity on me and can help. We have a Netware 3.11 server that has eaten it's drive. I was able to find a backup drive but when I...

We have a Netware 3.11 server that has eaten it's drive. I was able to find a backup drive but when I power it up I get the message that volume sys could not be mounted. From looking at the forums I have found that I need to run vrepair so I followed some of the threads and input the name of the...
