Wondering if anyone had any input here. I am running a Windows 2003 SBS server with Acronis True Image Echo Server. (New from 9.1) I can backup fine and restore fine. I was interested in adding a RAID setup now. I created an image with Acronis. Restored that image to a new SATA hard drive. Turned off the server, disconnected the old hard drive, installed the RAID card (SIIG Sata 4 channel), connected the new hard drive with the restored image, and attemted to boot. (Did not build array yet) I get a “NTLDR is corrupt” error.
I start to think this has to do with the Boot.ini, but I don’t know what to do here. I am going to try to use the windows cd to try and fix the boot, but I have to install a floppy drive first so I can load the RAID drivers. Does this sound right to anyone? I am trying to build a RAID1 array using new hard drives instead of the existing ones.
Thanks so much for any feedback and help. =]
*UPDATE*
Here is a little more info I am getting now. If I run Bootcfg from the recovery console, it says: “Failed to Sucessfully scan disks for Windows Installations. Error may be caused by a corrupt file system.” Then if I run Chkdsk, it says the volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems.”
I know running chkdsk is not the answer here, but I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is an article I found that is similar to my situation, but I would just like to see if anyone has any ideas before I just decide to reinstall the server: https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-11185-0.html?forumID=85&threadID=199066&messageID=2073700
