Universal Restore Question

ok.. here is where I am.

we currently have MS CRM installed on an old workstation.. it was all that was available at the time of installation.
Workstation config
IBM Thinkcenter P4 3.2
2 GB RAM
mirrored 80 GB HD

I now have a new server
Server config
IBM x Series 336
dual xeon 3.8
4 GB RAM
mirrored Utltra 320 146 GB

I have an image of the old system.. Thinkcenter and I have tried to use universal restore to deploy the image on the xseries 336. there are two things i'm seeing

1. I'm not getting prompted to use universal restore ( I used to pre echo )
2. after i restore... the machine continuously restarts

NOTE: I've created the rescue media in Echo Server version with universal restore. When i boot up... I select the "full version" with universal restore...


Thoughts?

Cheers

Hey Hotliner,

The old no UR option! I had this problem before and Acronis support sent me a specially built recovery disc that did pop up the universal restore option.

Also, since you first posted; builds 8115 of Echo Server and Universal Restore have been released. You might want to install them and rebuild the restore disk to give that a try first.

Good luck!

 

Thanks FBMachines's!!

I did end up contacting Support and they also sent me a built image..

I'm now getting the "prompts" but the new server is still continuously rebooting after the image has been restored to it..

I'll figure it out when i have time..

Again.. thanks for getting back to me..

Cheers
