I've tried adding in the perc 4 raid driver once in the restore environment and that doesnt work. I still cant edit the iso because its a 64 bit server and 32bit ISO. This time I ran the driver validation tool on the server and it came back as all drivers installed, but I still cant do a restore. Once again only the 32bit disk would boot the server and once again the target drive location comes up as invalid when I try to do the restore. So next I installed a full version of Symantec system recovery on a Windows 8.1 PC with a different license meaning I didnt have to create the recover disk through the management solution. I tried editing the 64bit ISO, but that still wont boot. So now the main issue I am experiencing is that when I try to do the restore the target drive is always coming us as Invalid.Īt first I assumed thta this was because I had created the recovery disk on our management solution server which is a VM so the disk didnt contain the relevant drivers for the server so I went to the server and tried to edit the ISO, but because the server is running a 64 bit OS I cant edit the 32bit recovery disk ISO. So I tried the 32bit disk and it boots properly andf I am able to get to the recovery utility. The first issue I experienced was that the 64bit recovery disk would not boot this server after testing this disk on other servers I logged a call with Symantec who got me to test the disk on a PC and it worked.

I've created so many recovery disks I'm going insane. I'm trying to a test restore on a Dell Poweredge 2850 which is running Server 2008 R2. PRevious to the R2 upgrade restores were tested using the downloaded recovery disk and everything worked fine now however I cant seem to get a test restore working.


We are using Symantec System Recovery R2 Management Solution. I'm having serious problems with the symantec recovery disk.
