If you have saved your Microsoft Excel file on a Windows Home Server-based system, chances are that your file might get corrupt.

When you try to open an Excel file that is saved on a Windows Home Server based system, you might receive errors that the file is corrupted or is located on a server that is currently unavailable, while the Server is actually running.

Cause

If you are using multiple drives with your Windows Home Server system, then depending on its timing, workload and Excel use patterns, the file could become corrupted. It occurs because to implement Shared Folder storage technology, Windows Home Server uses NTFS file system together with a file system mini-filter driver. Due to a bug in redirection mechanism that mini-filter driver uses to redirect I/O between files stored on main and other hard drives, interaction between NTFS, Cache Manager and Memory Manager goes out of sync. This ultimately makes an Excel file corrupted and inaccessible.

•    Restore the damaged Excel file from backup or use commercial Excel Repair software (if backup gives errors or is absent).
