    Hi, 

    I'm trying to recover one of my XP machines that was backed up to my WHS. I boot the restore CD and the network and disks are detected fine. I also supply the WHS password and the box appears that shows "Initializing Windows", "Registering Components" "Verifying Drivers" and "Launching Restore Wizard"

    All three of the first receive the Tick but the mahcine just sits there and I don't get any Restore Wizard.

    I am completely at a loss.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks

    Update to this issue. While playing around trying to figure out what was going on as a last resort I rebooted the WHS machine. That fixed this issue and I was able to restore successfully restore the machine.

    Did you use the latest version of the restore CD? If not please try this first.

    Yes - Downloaded from the Microsoft Site. Sorry let me be more specific. This was the first thing that I tried. I used the MSI from the link that you provided. It made no difference.
