OK - here is the deal, I want to replace a small SCSI
drive with a large SATA drive on a SBS2000 Server.
This is what I did, I installed the SATA drive, then I
booted off of a Acronis Drive Image Recovery CD and I
cloned the SCSI drive to the SATA drive (moving from
8Gbytes to 250Gbytes) - then I removed the SCSI drive,
rebooted the system and Windows 2000 server attempts to
load and then gives me all sorts of errors - Unable to
load active directory, WINS database corrupt, etc. and
forces me to reboot into Safe/active directory restore
mode - The problem then is I can't login -
I have experianced the same problem with GHOST and
PowerQuest cloning software, as well as the Acronis
product, so it must be something to do with changing from
one type of drive to another (HAL issue?)
Is there any tricks out there to clone from one drive type
to another (ie SCSI to IDE or SATA or vis versa) and have
it work? is it something with the boot ini or is it a
driver problem or is it an NTLDR problem, would doing a
sysprep first solve the problem?- any one have a tip?
Thanks
