Restore SBS2K3 on a different hardware

Thread needs solution

Windows 2003 SBS SP2.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 SBS Edition.

So i have did not ntbackup the system state, i only have an image.
Using Boot Media with Universal Restore, loading new drivers seems ok.
The system can boot only in safe mode. If i try to start in normal mode, it appears the "Windows 2003" Logo and the system does not arrive to Logon.
I noticed a lot of errors in Active Directory event logs.

Is there a way to recover this system ?

Sorry, i apologize.

After try and try, i found that the Execute Disable Bit on in the BIOS caused the hang up on boot.

I've thinked that the problem was Active Directory.

So, if i could ask : Is it "always" ok backup C with VSS enabled ? Or there are situation where the AD database results in unuseable state ?

Many Thanks and sorry again.
