I have created a Windows system state backup on a NAS installed on my Domain which completed fine. During testing the Recovery process the option of selecting the OS to recover revealed an empty console box with no OS present. The only choice to proceed was to click on the next button which resulted with a dialogue asking for Hard Disk drive drivers – Browsed my Server 2008r2 disc and HP Proliant setup-disc for Drivers / Controllers - Selected the HP Smart Array B110i as listed in Device manager - still no OS. Both drives are Dynamic and are showing in Windows disk management as HP Logical Volume Scsi Disk Devices (is this correct?) . Been on Seagate site to download drive identication tool - Works on Client PC's - detects firmware ID details but shows nothing when run on Server.
