    Hi everyone,

    I have a laptop that I changed the HDD. Now, I want to restore the laptop from a backup in WHS for that computer. I insert the Restore CD Dual in the laptop. It loads windows files, and the I get a blue screen saying:

    "The BIOS in the computer is not fully ACPI compliant", please contact your vendor for an updated BIOS.

    What can I do to solve the problem? I really want to restore the backup from WHS on this computer.

    Thanks,

    Klode

    You probably need to copy (at least) the SATA drivers from your server backup to a USB flash drive, then boot the restore CD with the flash drive attached.

    Klode, you can connect the new disk to another machine and do a restore there. Then reconnect to the laptop.
