Ghost restore image - pops up new hardware found - generic volume.

[BertieBigBollox@gmail.com]

If I make a ghost backup of my windows 2000 server, when I restore to

the exact same server and reboot it gives me the new hardware found

message about a generic volume.



I dont understand how because the server was perfectly happy before so

the ghost image should contain all hardware details.



Is there any way to disable this so this message does not appear?



Once I OK the message and reboot it goes away but I need a clean image

to be able to rollout.

I'd try asking them here.

Yeh I have.



I think it is more of a Windows problem though. Why does it keep

thinking it needs to set up a generic volume?



I tried disabling this - bad idea it wont boot after this. BSOD with

inaccessible boot device....

I guess I'd lean the other way since as you said "the server was perfectly

happy before so the ghost image"

I would think that it's a ghost problem... and I would look at how it

handles the disk signature side of things.
