Hello,

Here is the process we use since several years with several customers.
It's for NT.
You will have to adapt it to W2003 XP but the principle is the same.
You can find some informations in redbooks (redpieces drafts 25/09/03) :
* IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Bare Machine Recovery for Microsoft Windows
2003 and XP
* IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Bare Machine Recovery for Windows with Cristie
BMR

  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.

It works and you are less dependant of the hardware.
I hope it will help !
Ask if you need more.
