Subject: Windows NT Restore not working again.....


Hi guys I have been doing some DR testing and I came across problems
when restoring NT 4 to a different machine with different hardware
configuration. I researched some the adsm.org's archive and came across
one procedure which was:

1.. Install system NT with Microsoft CDRom on another disk than C: Then
install the service pack.
  2.. Copy " boot.ini ", which is on C:, in " boot.bck ".
  3.. Install on the same disk TSM client. Customize TSM client with the
same name than the one to restore.
  4.. Launch GUI of TSM client and select all C: and restore.
  5.. With Edit (wordpad, etc.) open the file boot.ini restored.
  6.. Copy at the end of this file the content of boot.bck.
  boot.ini contains now two adresses of boot : the one of the restored
system (which doesn't work yet) and the one of the installed system
(which
is working).
  7.. Then copy two other files from the installed system to the
restored
system :
  WINNT/SYSTEM32/HAL.DLL
  WINNT/SYSTEM32/NTOSKRNL
  8.. Reboot the server on the restored NT system.
  9.. Relaunch GUI of client TSM and ask for a restoration of the
registry
base with selecting "system object".
  10.. Reboot the server on the restored NT system.
  11.. Verify  that it works fine.
  12.. When restore of C: is OK, it's possible to delete NT system on
the
other disk. Then modify boot.ini to delete the boot address of the
installed
NT system.
  13.. Restore the other disks with the GUI TSM client.


I followed this step by step but after step 8 I got the following
message after os loader

Windows Nt could not start because of following file is missing or
corrupt \winnt\systems32\config\systemhardware profile/lastknow good
menu

Is there some other files that I need to copy before step 8? Or is there
a better method for NT restoration?

Current environment is

Tsm server on windows v5.1.7

TSM Client v5.1.5

Thanks
