Is your OS installed with HP SmartStart?
What version of SmartStart?
Is it a upgraded server from W2k -> W2k3?
Is it exactly the same HW?

As far as I learned doing recovery of Windows OS on HP Proliant HW you
usally have to setup the server the same way as it was done before.

Maybe it is easier to do a rebuild instead. Install OS, applications and
only recover data if possible. I do recommend to use HP SmartStart to
install the server OS.

Subject: [Networker] Complete system recovery without ASR FAILED

Hello everybody,
I'm fighting in these days with a complete system recovery but up to now

it does not work. I have a DL380 HP server in W2K3 R2 SP2 without a 
floppy, therefore an ASR recovery is not possible .I followed the DR 
manual indication:

1) Installed the W2K3 R2 base installation ( no SP2 )
2) Installed NW client on the same original path
3) recovered all the system in one shot, with C: and all the VSS
savesets 
at the same time ( but not the legato directory ).
4) the recover is successful from the logs 
5) I rebooted the system and .. it does not boot at all, stopping with 
this step "load needed DLLs for HAL".

As per your knowledge, there is an order I have to follow in restoring
all 
the systems pieces in order to avoid this problem ??

Thanks in advance for your help
