Cant restore image using whs

[fireburster]

I have a 250gb hdd with a 40gb Vista 64bit partition. I have the new pp1 for WHS so i can backup now. I am using easybcd as my boot manager. I put a 120gb sata drive in and did a recovery from the whs of my 40gb to the 120gb. All that worked but when i reboot from the recovery the vista image doesnt boot. I put my vista dvd in and did the recovery boot and it says im missing boot manager. Any ideas on what i need to get this 120gb to boot into vista so i can start just using that drive.


I also ghosted the 40gb to 120gb and it doesnt boot either.

This may not be helpful, but this is why I avoid 3rd party boot loaders like the plague. I'm not familiar with the EasyBCD software, but can that be installed again without the OS being bootable? Does that software have a fix option or a recovery utility?

Easybdc is just a gui to vistas bootloader. I recovered last night to the same partition on my hdd and that worked great. Ill play around with it somemore.

so you tried fixboot and fixmbr from the recovery console?

I willl have to try messing around with the backup on WHS PP1, it sounds pretty handy.
