Just the default restore options.
I look at the drive that the restore was done to in explorer and it looks fine. The restore to drive is a different size then the original. I think it has something to do the new boot manager that is used with Vista/2k8. problems with imaging a system/boot drive that is in use? (VSS issues?)
When I try to boot, I get the boot menu but then it stops

I passed the problem to our developers.
But can you provide more details about the error and restore options in R-Drive Image you specified?

during testing of r-drive image

1. I made an image of a "live" win2k8 boot/system drive to a .arc file
2. I restored this .arc image to a DIFFERENT hard drive
3. The restored hard drive started to boot but kicked out some error after the boot loader.

I think this has to do something with win2k8/vista's new boot structure.

thanks, John
