After a few dozen hurdles and a lot of frustrating fixing we have managed to resurrect the server, for the curious mind here is a
detailed story of what actually happened.
We lost all our server files they were nowhere to be found, it seemed like windows restore deleted the files (PC was booting from the HDD instead of the SSD)
It started crashing ever since we updated (unstable
Bukkit builds)
Windows 7 didn’t want to start and asked for a restore so
we did and it restored back to a year ago. (Old HDD with old not working
windows)
We lost all our server files they were nowhere to be found, it seemed like windows restore deleted the files (PC was booting from the HDD instead of the SSD)
Tried to undo the restore process, with no luck
Went to the other option to run a data recovery and while
we were about to start the data recovery we found all the files on the drive as
they were untouched
This time around it wouldn’t even detect the drives
Replaced the wires and brought the server up only to
crash again
Upon checking the drive cables again the server PC won’t
even give display. (HDMI cable was loose)
Ditched the server PC to run the server from the other PC,
worked fine for an hour and then crashed
Discarded the SSD, the server runs from the old HDD with
the old restored windows 7 on the server PC
Hopefully there won't be any more complications any time soon.

Thanks for being patient it might not have been easy for
most of us to pass our precious time without our playground but I hope you all survived
one day without it, same goes for RobinR who thankfully continue to exist after
trying to repair the server wasting his whole day.
