Hello I was working on my server didnt even touch the drives and it wont boot i have windows server 2012. I ran chkdsk and it found 7 errors says it fixed them but still wont boot ? blue screen says system wont boot ? could a old cmos be the problem ? I have a ssd samsung 850pro for main drive then 2 4tb hdds in raid. Im not seeing any error messages either. The blue screen goes to fast to see what error it is to

Well I would start up by fixing the firmware issue (your CMOS battery needs to be replaced) One possible problem is your firmware reset due to the battery being bad and you now have a mismatch between the boot type and how the OS is setup (example firmware is set to legacy boot and OS is GPT\UEFI) or the SATA mode is incorrect (ACHI vs emulation)
Can you post the full error message or a screenshot?
 
Here is the error message.

I actually got the server up and running it was simple I installed in ahci and it was set as ide because the cmos failed. Thank you for the help.
