We had that problem a couple of times as well and found that to be an
issue with c:\boot.ini pointing to a wrong boot partition. After fixing
that from the windows recovery console, the server came up fine every
time.

[Veritas-bu] Windows 2000 File Protection issue
During a test of our ability to recover a Windows 2000 server from the
ground up we ran into some
issues w/ Windows File protection. We attempted was to use a base Windows
2000 image installed on a
similar hardware configuration as the original server, with the same disk
layout and OS install
path, then install the Netbackup client, run the restore of the entire
server, selecting overwrite
files, and reboot. The server OS would not come backup and would
generate an error saying the
system cannot find NTOSKRNL.exe. It was eventually discovered that
Windows File Protection may be
the root of the issue. We laid down another base install, deleted the
contents of the
winnt\system32\dllcache folder and ran the restore and up came the server.
It appears that as NBU
laid down the windows system files WPF replaced them with the versions
contained in the dllcache
folders.
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue, or has a reliable
procedure for recovering Windows
servers.
