Hi All,

I hope someone can help here. We had a total hardware failure on a the
mirror of a W2K BackOffice box with Exchange 2000. We were able to save the
Raid 5 D drive that has the Exchange Private and Public Store.
On the new hardware we installed W2K and ran the 2000 BackOffice setup. As
part of this setup we joint the box to the existing domain and installed
Exchange2000. After reboot, the server had joined the domain and had
replicated the AD from the other DC. When starting the Enterprise Admin the
public and private store were showing but couldn't be started. The property
pages are pointing to the right DIR on the D drive where all logfiles and
the
Private and Public store files are. We then noticed that there is no M drive
and when we checked the services, none of the Exchange services are there.

We have no clue what has happened. Does anybody know about a white paper or
something that we could use to get Exchange back up again? If needed we can
whipe the C drive again and start from scratch.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Claus
