Need help in NYC - Willing to pay for it.

[ogregev]

I'm in Staten Island, NY and I need help configuring a new FreeNAS box. It has a Highpoint RocketRaid 3560 that I need to get working.

Also, my old FreeNAS server just died. I need to get a boot drive configured and talking to the data drives (which I assume are good).

I'm looking to pay someone to come onsite and spend a few hours configuring it.

I tried that once before, but the answers were along the lines of "install the driver". What driver? How do I load it? How do I get to "root"? I'm a PC/Windows guy. I can't even get a CD-ROM to work with this thing, so I can't get the driver into the computer. Then there's the whole issue of should I format the data drives? Did I format the drives? Basically, I got Freenas 7 up and running, but it couldn't mount the 28TB array, then it died and I couldn't get it to boot again. I went through 5 CD drives and 4 hard drives. I couldn't get Freenas 8 to work with the card at all.

THEN my Freenas 6 HTPC server with two 7TB arrays vanished off the network. The kids are going through movie withdrawal. The whole point was to migrate it to the new server.
