Hi all,

I have a dell server that I have been doing full volume backups for the past while. all working well.

I tried to do an image to vm and it worked fine as in it built them - it built two vmdk files.

The issue I have is that I build the vm machine in vmserver no issue there and then add the disks in the correct order.

When i boot the server I starts to load windows and then I get a bluescreen

Stop C00021a Fatal error.

Now I can browse the volumes using acronis on our backup server and all looks well. I know that on the first vmdk file there is three partitions and one of them is a 32mb Dell partition and I am not sure if this is causing me an issue.

I tried to go to windows system recovery by booting from cd but it does not see my windows install yet if I try to install windows again it says it found c:\windows and do I want to overwrite - so i am not sure if just something is a miss with partitions or how they are being presented when converted to an image.

Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Michael
