When booting with the Server 2008 R2 DVD in the machine, I select the repair option. When prompted, I then select Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier. Image selected is for volume with two partitions, C & E. Error message is as follows: The system image restore failed. Error details: Windows did not find any disk which it can use for recreating volumes present in backup. Offline disks, cluster shared disks or disks explicitly excluded by the user will not be used by Windows. Ensure that disks are online and no disks are excluded by mistake(0x80042414)
There is an option to load drivers, but the only drives listed there are boot(X:) and MyBook(C:), the portable drive that the backup files are on. This is an HP Proliant ML310 Gen8 box. HP says it's a Microsoft problem, of course. Don't know how it can restore to a disk it can't see...
