Acronis True Image with Sonicwall CDP 5040 Universal Bare Metal Restore Issue

Thread needs solution

I have a Sonicwall Pro 2040 that I backup all files to on our network. I also purchased the Universal Bare Metal Restore feature from Sonicwall. With this option I should be able to restore any Server backed up with this to any hardware I want.
The backup works fine I have restored to a server that does not have a RAID configured with no issues. When I go to restore to a server with a RAID configured I am supposed to load the SCSI drivers during the restore. Every time I do this it crashes during the restore. I have tried this on two separate servers with the same result. I have used the Bare Metal Restore and everything works great I only run into the problem when I try to restore to a different server.

I am currently trying to restore a Dell Power Edge 2900 to a Dell Power Edge 1800.
The Power Edge 2900 is a 32 bit machine and is running Server 2003 R2
I am using the Server 2003 drivers directly from the Dell website.
