Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

I would take advice from CharlieB before taking mine....however, here is a thread that helped me previously.

I wasn't in rescue mode, so maybe thats where a difference to your situation lies.

Hi guys,

I installed a freshly new server and it is working fine. Thanks for your help anyway.

One final question about this issue: is it advisable to use this harddisk again? In other words: was this crash caused by a diskerror or by something else?

What do you think?

Before using it again, you have to test it. You can use the UBCD (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/), to test it. It has a lot of diagnostic software for hard disks. Just plug the drive in a computer, and boot using the UBCD CD.
