Server Rebuild

The server HDD started acting flaky at the beginning of the week, so I decided to be pro-active and start prepping a new drive for the system before it failed completely.  I did have our Western Digital external HDD hooked up and it was holding all of our pictures, videos, and music.  I decided to copy all of that data to the desktop temporarily and just install that drive in the server instead of having it hooked up externally.

The process is going pretty well so far, I got all the data copied over and the drive installed; but I hit a snag when I realized I didn’t have any more SATA cables.  So now I need to pick up a few of those, and then continue by installing/setting up Ubuntu Server.

    Hahah. Yeah, Craig brought one in to work so I’m good there. Hit a bunch of other snags last night though, what a headache.
