Server 2003 restore = unknown error???

Thread needs solution

Hi, we are using Server 2003 R2 x64 running AD, DHCP, DNS, Exchange and RDS on HP hardware. I have installed Backup and Recovery on the server, and ran a "full backup" creating an Archive file which i saved to a external USB drive and verified.
I swapped out the HDD for a clean one, booted with the Acronis Media I made and started to do the restore following the guide in KB articles.
Everything looks to have run perfectly. Everything verifies ok. The new HDD has all of the data on it.

But when I try and reboot the server, once it tries to load the HDD I get a blank screen with 4 or 5 blinking colored squares...? I'm not sure how to describe this so i didn't know what error to search for?
I have attached a photo of the screen because I don't know how else to describe it.

I have already tried to copy the ntlrd off the original CD and run bootcfg /rebuild but still the same screen comes up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advanced.
