Sooooo... I just started my WHS box (only 7.5 tb won't make the thread =). Got it all put togeather and I am using a 1.5tb WD green as the OS drive. The install goes fine off the DVD then when it reboots and finished the install off the HD I get a BSOD telling me to run a CHDSK /f - I have tried differn't SATA ports and no fix. I'm waiting on the other 4 HD's to show up so I can try making one of those the OS drive... but until they do does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Different cable?

I'm pretty sure I've gotten that error before but it offered and ran CHDSK, then everything was OK.
 
The problem is I can't even get to a dos prompt to run it. I guess I'll try and do a bart pe windows boot disk.

It's during the install phase that it BSOD's
 
What's the SATA mode set at in your system bios ? If AHCI did you remember to load the AHCI drivers manually ?

WHS is flaky when it comes to disk drivers.
Even if the OS drive is on a disk that needs no driver, the install will fail if you have additional disks on a controller that needs a driver.
 
Like the others said check the BIOS settings, and make sure you are loading the proper dirvers for the system even if the OS drive is not using it.
 
BTW does this have to be loaded via a floppy or can I pop it on a thumb drive? Also what are your past experiances with ESATA external and WHS do they play nice or are they a bitch?
