Are you running Windows Home Server? And not asking the obvious, but did it make backups of your PC(s)?

I've never had to restore from the Home Server, but from reading the doc attached to this post, it should be case of sticking a new hard drive into your PC, then booting from the Restore CD supplied with the server and then answer the few questions it asks you.

Let us know how you get on!
