1) Check the boot.ini file to see that it is the same.<br />
<br />
2) When you are restoring, are you even sure that both drives are getting the image ( not just one ), since the RAID controller may not be fully recognized.<br />
<br />
3) Check the RAID controller config to see if there is something there that could affect deployment/ restore.<br />
<br />
4) try to see if both drives are properly synched after the WDS<br />
<br />
5) Use abootable Linux ( knoppix, Ubuntu ) to see the data on the drive.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps !<br />

Okay. &nbsp;I just started using Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to produce systems for our company. &nbsp;I have had no problem getting our client systems to work, however I am having some problems with creating our controller systems. &nbsp;The controllers are running a raid mirror on 2 SATA WD 80g hdd's using the Intel ICH6 controller built into the motherboard. &nbsp;I can capture the image just fine, however when I install the image on another (or even the same) computer, it boot loops. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
