The Windows Home Server team has announced the availability of a Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 Release Candidate for public beta testing. The update package is now available from Microsoft’s Connect site (Registration req.)

The most important update in the Power pack is the data corruption issue:
“When certain programs are used to edit or transfer files that are stored on a Windows Home Server-based computer that has more than one hard drive, the files may become corrupted”.
According to an Microsoft email sent to beta testers this has now been fixed:
“While internal testing so far indicates that we have fixed the data corruption bug in the beta release, the whole point of a beta test is to validate internal testing”

Good-O. Finish exams on the 20th and I havent gotten around to setting the WHS I have parts for from my previous PC in the past two months so this is right in time for that. Not only is the corruption fix important but I need the x64 connector too and would prefer to not have to do any hacks to make the existing one work as has been possible.

Can't wait to give it all a try.

The power pack was announced before the corruption bug was even discovered and was meant to be issued as a feature pack. It just so happens the corruption bug arose and they rolled the fix into the pack and its happened to take a bit of the spotlight. Plenty of people want the pack who arent effected by the corruption bug for the other new functionality it offers.

The link to Microsoft's website has a typo... It's not mircosoft.com
