If you get an answer to this I'd love to know. We can get around it by installing the drivers for a standard IO card (say an adaptec scsi/sas and an adaptec sata raid controller) before doing the DR images. However, that assumes that we a) have the replacement raid card handy come the restoration time and also that we don't need to restore to some other hardware.
Being able to restore to something totally dissimilar would be great. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Brutsche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 September 2008 17:06 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Restore an XP Image to dissimilar hardware It's not the HALs you need to worry about, it's the storage drivers. The images will "boot" far enough to blue screen with STOP code 0x7B (aka INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE). If you can get the storage drivers squared away they'll most definitely boot - I know this 'cause I have a "universal" XP SP3 ghost image that will Just Work (except for things like audio) on the machines in question.
