Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Restores
I have a Windows 2008 Server R2 Standard, that I have a Full Backup of. The backups are .VHD files. The system crashed after a Dell technician replaced the RAID controller. What is the best way to restore this .VHD file? I have tried several ways, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the quick response. I will try that, but I cannot access the links you have provided. I will let you know how this works out for me.
the links work okay, here, just tested.
ASKER
Yep, works now. Go figure. I'll watch and compare what I'm doing. Thanks!

When I log into the remote server for the shares, it does not show anything. The VHD files are there, but it does not act like it sees them. Is there anything that I can do?

No issues with file share. These files have been moved from original location.
Make sure the backups are on a PC on the network for network restore.
