Were you able to switchover to the second server via doubletake? &nbsp;Either way way looks like an OS issue, you would follow the same procedures you would use to recovery a physical machine. &nbsp;I would recover from a good backup and if you are using doubletake and were succesfull in failing over you will be able to failback. &nbsp;Since doubletake (in most cases) is setup for application failover you will need to restore the failed system back before you can failback.<br />

disclaimer..make sure your VMs are setup with separate VMDKs for system and data if you're going to do the above method<br />
<br />
good idea though..

Hi,

I am trying to recover a virtual machine with win2003 std installed on VMWareESX server 3.5 that got an error NTLDR missing after attempting replication with Double-Take software.

How can I recover a virtual machine with boot error NTLDR missing ?

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

System Utilities

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
