Having got the new PC up and running, then migrating the web and mailservers, I decided to start the build of the NAS box tonight. I removed the existing HDs, and popped the three larger spares in, all went reasonably smoothly. First of all I tried to install Ubuntu server only to find that the machine hangs completely after loading the kernel. I then went for FreeNAS, however that causes the machine to reboot as soon as it starts to boot from the CD. I’m now resorting to installing a copy of XP instead.

Always best to start at a lower rank. Try the Sergeant!
Does it work now you’ve put XP on there?
No. It keeps rebooting for some reason.
PSU too small for all the drives?
(unlikely)
Possibly dodgy cabling for the drives.
My file server / bittorrent etc machine has started giving me STOP errors all the time. bah.
I feel a rebuild coming on
