  Well all that sounds right. I assume that you had the UEFI Hotfix installed on your server - not sure why I ask as you would not have got as far as you did without it! What error message, if any do you get? How far does it go through the boot process?

  Hi Phil, Don't know what you mean by the UEFI hot fix?

  There is no error message, just gets to the boot, shows the 2 disks, and sizes (dell) bios, "press ctrl I" screen, and just hangs?

  Thanks for your prompt reply. Pete.

  Did you install W8 on an existing PC or is it a new machine? If the latter, it is almost certain to have a UEFI installation and if so, you need the Hotfix to successfully back it up. Having said that, without it, it would not have allowed you to create a successful backup which you seem to have.

  So WHS tells you that you have successfully restored your client from the backup? What is the "Cntrl I" screen? Did you have a Dell restore partition and did you restore it? There is no error message saying the partition is not bootable?
