Hi, Recently I purchased from Ebay an EX490 Mediasmart Server to replace my old EX475. I loaded the drives from the old one and connected it as per instructions and then loaded the 3.0 software disk onto my laptop which is running Windows 7 64 bit.

Can someone help me with why it may not be finding the server? I am not sure if the WHS Connector will actually run on my laptop, does anyone know this?

Any help that I can get will be appreciated.

Thanks

Not quite sure what your doing here. If you expect the EX490 to boot up with the drives from the EX470 then it will not work because the hardware is different so even if it does boot up it will not work properly. I believe you would need to perform a recovery to install the software that's specific to the EX490 which is still WHSv1 but with a huge face lift of features and functions added by HP for the EX49x Series servers.

If you search the site you should find a ton of information written by those who migrated from EX47x and EX48x servers to the EX49x server models. Then you will find out exactly what you need to do, what problems you may encounter along the way and what corrective action you may have to take.

Good Luck with your EX490.
