Disaster Recovery – Repair install hangs at splash screen

by power4350 . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Hi, I am currently trying to recover from a crashed AD domain controller. The problem is such that I have to restore to new hardware.

The old hardware was a clone server using an Intel SE7320SP2 Server Board, and the new hardware is an IBM x3650 server with SAS\SCSI controller in a RAID 5 configuration.

I have restored from backup, and have tried a repair install of the Windows 2003 R2 but the install hangs at the splash screen. I have double checked the RAID drivers and have run a fixmbr and fixboot commands from the recovery console, but every time I try to complete or restart the Repair Install the server hangs at the Windows splash screen.

Anyone have any ideas that I can try short of a full rebuild?
