I thought I'd make this thread just to keep you all in the loop. Obviously the upgrade was supposed to take about 6 hours. It has now taken over 30 Hours.

A lot of things went wrong which has caused this delay.

1. The UEFI Bios on our Motherboard does not work correctly over HDMI, resulting in graphical glitches
2. The main Hard Disk (C drive) was banged by me as I removed it from the server, this caused it to stop working.
3. The replacement 1TB drive I imagined to similarly did not work properly, it was an old drive with questionable life
4. The CPU and/or RAM voltages were set too low on the defaults which meant the system couldn't get through any booting screens without Blue Screens of Death (BSOD's aka Kernel Panics)

I worked on this from 12 in the afternoon to 2am at night. 14 hours altogether. Then I went to sleep, when I woke up I started working on the problems again.

These four problems were quite a setback because as I solved one problem another one seemingly cropped up out of nowhere and it was difficult to tell if a problem was solved because the other issues all result in the same kinds of errors and blue screens. It has taken a lot of trial and error to get everything working.

So the situation right now: The Operating System has been reinstalled on yet another 1TB Disk (3rd one). I am currently installing drivers and software that we need. Once that is done the services will start to come back online including the Minecraft Games our Web portals and our WinMX Chat Rooms.

I estimate we will be back up and running later tonight. Thank you for your continued patience I know it's a pain in the ass, thank goodness it's not the weekend!

Sorry to hear you've encountered so many problems.
Just take your time and don't give any ETAs

It's always annoying when it does not go as you expect it to go
But oh well, these things come around and go around...
Good luck Pri! As that is about everything I can do... Wish you luck :/

Sounds like you're having a world of fun, good luck.

Pri, take as long as you need to. You can and you will but you get the message. I'm positive we're all grateful to even have Renegades. I'm sure people can go without Minecraft for days on end, but we're still all very grateful for the upgrade in the first place.

Well is will the server be up within 24 hours? Or will you need to order another harddrive D: well good luck with this and I hope:
A: Nothing explodes
B: No one get's hurt
C: Nothing get's broken.

^ The servers should be online pretty soon, pri is just doing finishing touches.

Cant wait to get back on. ive been itching.
