Windows Server 2008 R2 cannot load from Acronis backup image
Hi,
I have problems with clone HDD with Windows Server 2008.
Previously Windows Server 2008 R2 installed on RAID1 massive.
However both HDDs in RAID1 was damaged (bad clusters & SMART event warnings).
I created clone of Windows Server massive on separate HDD (without RAID mode, single drive)
Image created "as is". Windows NT signature copied to HDD clone from RAID massive.
If I point BIOS to load from clone HDD then Windows Server started but machine rebooted before login prompt.
Why? Backup & Recovery cannot support clones of Window Server?
I cannot see any difference between clone and original RAID massive.
May be RAID massive name is important for Windows Server?
Thanks for any advice

Hello Mansoor,
Thank you for your posting! Sorry, but without additional information It's difficult to suggest anything. Would you at least send us a photo of the error message you see when booting?
