Microsoft has a document about dissimilar HAL's...
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=263532

It doesn't seem to cover moving from SCSI to ide. Which i think is my 
current problem...

&gt; Hi, <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I'm doing to DR testing. I have a unix master and i'd like to <br>
&gt; restore the BMR boot/win2k domain controller. <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; In past versions of windows, I have installed windows to c:\winnt.dr<br>
&gt; and then restored the server and set the boot.ini to boot from c:\winnt
<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; With win2k, i can restore the system state, so if i want to restore
<br>
&gt; my domain controller, can i install windows to winnt and then <br>
&gt; restore the c: and system state to get the server back? <br>
&gt; <br>
