I have Bare Metal Backup( With only C Drive) of 2 Servers with Windows Server 2012 DataCenter in External Drive.
in One of the Server A the Size of Bare Metal Backup is about 40 GB and Size of Partition C is about 142 GB.
in One of the Server B the Size of Bare Metal Backup is about 14 GB and Size of Partition C is about 80 GB.
I have new Server with Same OS and i have total HD space is 139 GB. I Tried to restore by Booting the Server with Windows Media DVD and Then Repair Option, I made Partition throigh Command Prompt:
>Diskpart
>List Disk
> Select Disk 0
>Active
>clean
> Create Par primary
>format fs=Ntfs Label=C Quick
>Assign Letter C
>List Volume
I can see the Volume in healthy Condition but When i restore Image from External Drive I face below Error:
the System image Restore Failed
Error Details: the Disk that is Set as Active in BIOS is too small to recover the original System disk. replace the disk with a larger one and retry the restore operation (0x80042407)
I even tried with Server B that has small C drive Partition and backup.
