So, I recently installed Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 on my server. I have the OS installed on a 160 GB HDD, and the server data on a separate 1TB physical HDD. I moved all of the Server Folders individually to the second HDD using the Dashboard tool. All seemed to be working fine; I even granted permissions to the various folders using the Dashboard's Storage page. However, the server is now reporting that the Storage Service isn't running, and when I try to start it manually it just stops again after a few seconds with the following error, according to the Event Viewer:
The Windows Server Essentials Storage Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
Here's the error dump:

The storage is readable, however, I cannot administer it via the Dashboard. I have tried using sfc /scannow, but it didn't find anything relevant. What are my next steps? Thanks!
