Cloning SBS Harddisk and then the new HDD throws a bluescreen
Hi,
we want to clone our SBS 2008 installation to a new harddisk. After cloning it (with HD-Clone 4.2) it starts normal till it throws a bluescreen:
c00002e2 directory service could not start because of the following error
an installed device don´t work properly (this line is in german and i don´t know if this is exactly the english message)
error status: 0x0000001
i tried 4 different disks - everytime the same error. If i replug the old one, everything works fine (but this disk is very slow). I tried 2.5" and 3.5" sata2 Disks, changed the powersupply and tried different sata-ports for the cloning.
I install the new disk at exact the same Sata-port as the old one.
Any idea ?
thanks

Did you try to start in save mode?
One other thing .. if this has a RAID controller then it will fail because cloning won't pick up the metadata from the controller which starts at physical block#0.
It still counts as a RAID drive, even if you just have the one disk.
If you want to clone that way, you MUST configure that new disk as a stand-alone drive, then clone via a disk to disk image skipping over metadata. The way to do that is to get a bootable USB stick with LINUX on it (ubuntu.com home page walks you through it) .. then just clone using a bit-level copy, like entering dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=64k (substituting the proper input/output device names). By booting to LINUX you are assured that the source disk will be mounted in read-only mode so it is safe.

This saved me a lot of time. repairing the ntds was exactly needed. thanks a lot. Thanks for the other hints to, because other people could be helped to with those hints...
Do the right-clicky thing on the C:\ drive to chkdsk, and be sure to scan/replace bad blocks. Then try again.
