Full Backup but unable to Recover from Win 2008 DVD

-

hi,

i had power failure highlighted bios battery flat.
(lesson 1 - connect ups!)
(lesson 2 - change battery!)

as such lost bios settings control raid array (raid 1) primary boot partition.  didn't manage settings right raid array working again.

i proceeded recreate raid (thus loosing data) , tried restore vss backup carried out couple of hours previously.

  • i booted win 2008 dvd , slected next on locale screen.
  • i selected recover prompted me 'this valid systems vista , newer' - no problem thought (win 2008 vista kernel @ heart - , it's running 2008 dvd!).
  • however, when tried continue, wizard, reported recovery utility isn't valid version of windows.  didn't chance point network share containing vss image.


i recovered doing full install , activation again (always relearn things second time), i'm concerned if need recover vss in future, i'll end same incompatibility issue in recover wizard.

my server 2008 maps sourced product (fully licensed 10 cals), in case versioning issue...

any ideas?

cheers
pete

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
