Loving my Windows Home Server

I’ve had Windows 7 on the Gym computer but yesterday decided to hook up a printer to it.  Nice HP All-In-One printer in an effort to get better at scanning stuff.

Well, the CD that came with didn’t know anything about Windows 7, and there were no drivers on the HP Website so I decided to restore my Vista backup for that computer — I was also frustrated because my Haugpage USB device didn’t work either.

Man, restoring is sweet.  Grab a flash drive, copy the drivers off the server, put in the PC Restore disk and about an hour later your machine is back.  This one was a bit more difficult because I’d been running Windows 7 for 2 months, lots of updates missing, but it’s back and working, plus the new printer/scanner works.

Happy camper!
