We're trying to backup and restore, after replacing the hard drive, an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad.
The system has two partitions:
C:\ IBM_Preload Rest of the disk
D:\ IBM_Service 5 GB
It appears that WHS will only backup the C:\ partition. We cannot figure out how to backup the D:\ partition.
The C:\ partition was successfully backed up. However, when it was restored the system will not reboot.
After replaciing the hard drive we used the "Rescue and Recovery" discs (8) to restore the factory installation on the New hard drive. Than we did a restore of the previous backup to the C:\ partition only. Upon completion the system rebooted successfully.
Therefore, it appears there is some data in the D:\ partition that is required for booting the system.
Are there any documents on the backup, philosophies, and/or Best Practices?
Regards,
