Fix Server Boot Failure When External USB Drive Changes Boot Sequence

Abelson and Mirsky Dental Group, server is not booting, tried to select the hard drive at the BIOS, is not being recognized, no bootable media found, probably the hard drive is dead. Explained this to her, she answered "You kidding? I want someone here in 5 minutes" also complained about that this happened after we ran maintenance yesterday at her computers Not sure who's online now, and if we can arrange a visit for today https://bitrix.dentalht.com/workgroups/group/5/tasks/task/view/192722/

@Gevorg Jemendzan do you know anything about this?

Checking

Updates were performed only on OP2 and FD1, as the other computers were offline

FD1 is acting as server

Is there an external drive connected? Try unplugging it and see if it works. Also power drain.

Would be good to change that pc name to Server

The host name is Front SRVR. What software is hosted on it?

U was right. Looks like the boot sequence has changed for some reason, we were able to boot the computer with the usb drive disconnected -.- I asked her at boot sequence if she had the disk there she told me no lol

🥳

My mission to save the planet is done for today. Dont ask me anything else as the amount of my luck for the day has reached the limit .)

I didn’t understand if it is a server PC and if we supposed to be backing it up

Probably, thing is that the data that we have on that disk is from 2023. Gevorg told me that they refused to pay for a remote backup, and no one told anything about local backups

I will double check with Daniel
