I have a Windows 2012 R2 server with a bad hard drive. Not running in a VM. I make backups every night, so i am not afraid of losing data.
Steps I have taken:
I booted into the OS Media and chose "Repair your computer"-> "Troubleshoot"->"Windows System image recovery".
I selected the latest system image backup,
Installed the correct drivers Dell perc s110 so I could see the hard drive.
Chose Format and Re-partition disks.
Chose only restore System Drive only
Accepted the options and hit next
Fairly quickly I'm told that my backup is not for a Vista system. makes no sense. I booted up using my Dell Windows 2012 R2 x64 DVD.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Thank you,
Curt Davenport
