My sincerest apologies in advance, I don’t mean to dissect the following, however, I don’t see any other way to address the questions, blue text is mine:

It would not, “Safe Mode, Last Know Configurations, etc.” are software-based options. For Windows to give you these options, it must first recognize the booting device.

I think he may have done something to WINDOWS and now it won't reboot. Does the Shuttle system ship with a restore disk? Have you considered building a restore disk? Bryan, PM me if you want some ideas on developing that, in a situation like this it might be useful.

Other than MTU’s Shuttle, I don’t know of any system, that ships with a RAID configuration setup. RAID’s configurations are usually specifics to a business or an individual. MTU’s Shuttle ships with a RAID 1 configurations, and this is only my opinion, because they sell it as a specialized machine for Hoster. Perhaps MTU ships its Shuttle with a restore disk, but even then, it must have a properly set CMOS to recognize the booting device.


The easiest solution I think we may come across is a repair of Windows, however, Scott may loose the functionality of HOSTER for a short spell and have to reload JUST the program. His songs should be reserved elsewhere on the HDD.

One cannot “repair” Windows if one cannot boot.
