HiHinte

Thanks for your help.

I want to install Exchange server 2013 in windows server 2012, and study Exhange server 2013 technology, but suddenly the power is off when I installed Exchange server 2013.

I powered on the windows server 2012  found it very slowly and no responding, so I recovery the windows server 2012(before install Exchanger server 2013), then I reinstall Exchange server 2013, it says the error.

When I recovery the Exchange server 2013 in command with " setup /m:recoverserver /Iaccep....terms.

It need Exchange database, but I haven't the Exchange database. I only want to install the new Exchange server 2013.

The detail error in recovery mode  description I will paste later.
