Problem with nrestore with Nero6

I want to clone the system disk (Windows 2000) from one PC to another.
I use Burn Hard Drive Backup fonctionnality ( Nero 6.0.0.15) to make a backup DVD. It's OK.
On the other PC, I boot with the DVD and I use nrestore. It's OK.
But when I want to reboot, the following message appears :

Following file not found or damaged :
<windows 2000 root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

Where is the mistake ?

i never tried Nero 6 and i don't have a DVD-RW drive, but generally it's not recommended to backup a running system;
try a real Backup Software like Norton Ghost instead;

You should use a real backup program (Ghost, TrueImage...), and before that (in the case you want to migrate a secure, NT based OS as your case is) run Microsoft's sysprep utility. Symantec's documentation on the Ghost 7.5 corporate manual is just great.
Else, you should use something like Acronis MigrateEasy or Powerquest Deploy Center (in contrast to DriveImage this is a great program).

If you are putting both systems on an NT/2000/2003 network, the SIDs that identify each system cannot be the same. So what scarecrow says about using the sysprep util BEFORE backing up the system is essential for a networked MS Domain clone.

If you just want to back it up and restore it to have a duplicate of your system for emergencies or whatever, I still stick to Drive Image 7. I boot from a boot CD with DI7 on it and image my 12+ gB C : drive with 50% compression to a different NTFS partition with enough room to handle it. Then I boot back into XP and make a bootable DVD-RW using a floppy IMG file as the boot image. The floppy has a boot menu with CD drivers to run the DI or other recovery software right from the DVD, so it can be larger than the 2.88mb floppy image limit.

Here is a Floppy config.sys:

[menu]
menuitem=PART, Create-Resize-Move Hard Drive Partitions with Partition Magic 8.0
menuitem=SMAGIC, Modify 2K or NT SERVER Partitions with PowerQuest Server Magic 4.0

i didn't noticed the important word "another" while replying first time; what you want to to isn't "backup and restoring", what you want to do is "deploying/migrating"; this cannot be done with Nero;

hmmmmmmm if both systems were hardware identical totally the same, hard drives roms etc then using NRESTORE(nero hd backup) would work :)

...but as it (Nero hard drive backup) backs up everything in its entire form o.s. inclusive settings etc then to use it on a system that differs greatly then you will no doubt have conflicts that could either be minor and need a driver replacement or major that the system crashes on a regular basis !?

Probably right, but still the cloned machine would not be able to logon to the MS network, AND if the OS was XP home/pro then it's very likely that a new activation would be required...
But heck, sysprep is tailor made for such tasks, it's free/included in 2000 and XP pro CD's, so why not use that one?
Regarding the backup software I could use pretty much ANYTHING, but not DriveImage7. This one resembles a virus way more than conventional software- and moreover it installs without asking shifty Gear device drivers which may conflict/kill your preferred burning application(s).

DriveImage 7 is great if you make a boot disk/CD and boot from it. Not installed and run from within windows.. It has been so much less painful for me than Norton Ghost (very painful to work with, but great for multicasting if you need to do that many PCs). Also more reliable than Acronis TrueImage (though it is better for Linux Reiser filesystem).

Most people that bash DI 7 are ones who have not yet figured out how to make a boot CD/floppy yet ... :))))
