BMR Restore issues

Well here is why it went into DDR.

"

 DEBUG ddr_detect.cpp:IsDissimilarDiskRestore() The saved and discovered disks do not match, running DDR,"

Did you initialize the edited config with the discovered config?

Now to the meat of it:

2 DEBUG CWindowsVdsFacade.cpp:importDisk() Could not find disk pack for disk \Device\Harddisk0
1 DEBUG CWindowsVdsFacade.cpp:getPack() Failed to get disk pack for disk ID: 26b92f66-62d2-4d6e-b1a8-b10e907142bb
2 DEBUG CWindowsVdsFacade.cpp:importDisk() Failed to add disk \Device\Harddisk0 into basic disk pack.

There was an issue in 7.6 that should have been resolved in 7.6.0.2, but for sure was added to 7.6.1 bmrrst code that involved checking disks on a newly created vm to find out if they were dynamic or not which was hindered by the new disk being un-intialized.

The following did result in a workaround. (Let me know if you need infomration on how to bring up a command prompt on the booted restore environment.

Workaround:

At time of failure, bring up a command prompt on the client and perform the following commands:

diskpart 
select disk 0 
clean all 
create part primary 
active 
format fs=ntfs quick 
assign letter=c:

Then restart the restore.
