After being on the phone most of the week with Overland tech support we've come to the same conclusion. I am very fortunate that I am able (finally) to extract project data off this thing. I am doing so as of this moment.

After that I will do a complete re-install which of course whacks all data but this will show us on the next powerdown & restart whether it's a deep corruption or an actual hardware issue.

Earlier this week we had this thing up and talking and allowing users access and it all looked good, even with repeated (intentional) restarts. I shut it down through the console - moved it back to the server room - started it back up and it came right up to the Guardian Recovery Console with the amber and green alternating system LED light. Not good.

So that is where we're at. Get the data off, then nuke & pave it with OS reinstall and SP3 to see if we can actually trust this thing again.

Thanks you guys.
