Hi,

I have a issue with a V2P backup & recovery.

Using Acronis Backup & Recovery Server 11 with UR on a virtual Win2008R2 standard hosted in a vmware workstation 8.

I need to move this Win2008R2 to a physical server (a HP microserver G7 N40L).

So I backed-up the virtual enviroment to a USB2.0 harddrive, burn the acronis (linux based) boot CD and start-up the new server with the harddrive connected and acronis-boot-cd.
I restored all the enviroment: MBR + windows PARTITION, with de default options. And all have done right!

So.. I restarted the machine but windows wasn't able to start, and halted with a blue screen.

I tried to reboot with the acronis-boot-cd again and click "apply universal restore".... But on "Select OS...." the answer is: "Cannot Find an operating system on the current machine"..
why not? It is in the machine! but it didn''t start.

what do you think about that? thx

Hello fabio martignano,

Thank you for taking the time to post on our Forum. We are glad to greet you here.

We apologise for the inconvenience resulting from the recovery issue as you describe in your post. I would like to say that I will gladly help resolve your issue.

Just to confirm, you mentioned that you are experiencing issues booting up your newly restored disk-image backup of Windows Server 2008 R2 to an HP Microserver G7 N40L. Upon system startup you receive a BSOD, and as a result you attempt to reconfigure the application of Universal Restore by rebooting into the Acronis Bootable Media environment. This time, you are faced with the issue of an unavailable operating system in your HP Microserver system. Please do correct me at this stage if I'm wrong.

At this point, it seems that your recovery operation may not have completed successfully, and therefore you not only receive a BSOD, but upon attempting to reconfigure Acronis Universal Restore settings you are faced with a situation in which no operating system is present. Could you confirm that the recovery operation from your external USB hard disk completed successfully without any issues?

If the restore operation did not run smoothly, or that you are unable to recall whether it did at the time, could you kindly reattempt to restore the aforementioned system image once again. Following a successful restoration, please take care to have all the storage device drivers or chipset drivers of your new system available on the same USB hard disk drive or a separate removable media for Acronis Universal Restore to apply them for hardware compatibility, otherwise your disk image will not be bootable due to the dissimilarity in the hardware, in your case your HP Microserver machine. Please see this Knowledge Base article for more details on Acronis Universal Restore and fixing bootability issues in general.

Should you come across any error messages during the image restoration process, please try to take screen captions or note error details for a proper diagnosis of the issue.

Please notify me of any updates at your earliest convenience so that we may resume with the investigation of your issue.

Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions or issues.

Kind regards,

Volkan

If you boot the original system in vmware workstation from the same bootable media (probably better from .iso file) and go to 'apply Universal Restore', does it detect the OS? Or it fails to detect it only on the restored system?

what do you think about that? thx

First of all, I think I'm late to help you, but, maybe it can help somebody else. I solved the problem, when Acronis Universal Restore tells you: "Cannot find an operating system on the current machine", but! without disk operation system boots but falls in BDOS with error "Stop: 0x0000007B", but boots!!. How can we make  Acronis Universal Restore make see operation system?

I tried to migrate from real mashine to virtual (P2V) Windows 7 x64. I booted with Windows 7 disk, checked "Restore system", SHIFT + F10 and got cmd console. Found operation system location and made the second boot door for single OS:

cmd:

cd C:    // go to disk C: It can be also D:, or E:

dir     // get list of files to find Windows folder, if we can't see "Windows" forlder, go to D:, E: and so on... and then dir

bcdboot C:\Windows     // create one more "door" for operation system boot

Then we boot with Acronis Backup & Recovery Server 11, check  Acronis Universal Restore and we can see, that Acronis can see our operation system. Do our actions and reboot.

Atention! Now we can see 2 lines when boot windows: Windows 7 and Windows 7. Check the second (it was the first before our actions). If it boots with error, check another line '"Windows 7".

I loaded my operation system! 

Hope it saves you, like me!
