Hi All,
I need to rescue a Win 2003 server from failing hardware. Specifically a box running with a Pentium 4, Intel S875WP1 mb, and OS on an 80gb IDE drive. I have a Dell Power Edge 2950 that is very stable and I'd like to get 2003 on it. I've worked with Clonezilla, CZ, a few times and had good results with it, but not with a Win server.
I took a shot and made an image of the server with CZ on to an external USB drive. All seemed to go OK. Restored the image to the Dell, no errors, except CZ reported it had to modify the image because it came from a hdc drive and was being restored to a sda drive. Tried booting the Dell, the win 2003 splash screen came up with a progress bar for about 5 sec then it rebooted and went into a reboot loop.
Not sure what to do next. One reference said to run Sysprep on the 2003 server before using CZ. Also...
