Hi gang !

I had some problems last week to properly restore a win2k3 box using ASR
diskette, therefore decided to perform some tests on an unused machine
(IBM server , OS : WIN2K3 enterprise server, no SP): I installed TSM
client 5.3.0, made a full backup, created the ASR diskette, and then
tried a DR restore.
To my surprise, short while after having been asked for the ASR
diskette, system issued following warning :

Setup was unable to restore the configuration of your system
because of the following error:

The capacity of the current system disk drive is
insufficient, and cannot be used to recover the
partitions on the original system disk.

The replacement hard disk drives must be at least as large
as the disks present on the original system. 

I find it pretty strange to get this message, as absolutely nothing has
been changed on this server in between time where I generated the ASR
diskette and where I booted the system from Win CD to simulate a DR.
What could be wrong here ? TSM bug ?
Thanks for any advice !
Cheers.

Arnaud
