Re: HP DL185 Server Wont start
DL185GS? You mean G5?
(Generation 5, in case you wonder)
'System log full' alone shouldn't stop a server from restarting. IT just means it can't write any error messages to it.
(It may be possible to boot the server with a Linux LiveCD and rename the system logfile, to resolve that issue)

Re: HP DL185 Server Wont start
Did you do any upgrades on it? I have seen Windows patches and generic hardware patches cause this.
A faulty hard drive could cause this issue. Try replacing it. You will also want to upgrade the firmware on all drives so they match. You don't want mismatched firmware.

Re: HP DL185 Server Wont start
I would start with the HP Diagnostics on the RAID drives. Replace the bad drive. Get it to fail over and rebuild. A bad drive could cause Windows to corrupt. So start by replacing the bad drive. You don't want to run a server with bad hard drives in RAID. You should consider two spare drives for RAID 10.

Depending on the RAID level (RAID 0 is a good example) a bad disk can destroy a RAID volume.

Regardless of the issue here, I will have to disagree with this statement. There is no reason the OS/Paging file cannot be located on a RAID 5 array.
