Hello I'll Try to keep it short. WHS Original 2007.

  1. Computer that had WHS Installed and WHS was working on it and Died. Capacitor, etc. failed.
  2. System HDD Drive and 2 other HDD's seem OK and I took out of dead computer.
  3. Accessed System Drive (Boot Drive) using another Computer USB Doc and can see Shared Folders and files show OK sizes but properties for files show 0 bytes.
  4. Want to copy only my shared folder contents to another Hard Drive because I want to keep my files. Don't care about the WHS Backups.

Really struggling with this and need help.

Could not locate a tag for my old Home Server Software.

Thanks
Nick
