Hi,
You can recover the original server on to a different machine (Using the IDR) provided it has same hardware and specifications.
Before recovering the computer, note the following:
âÂÂThe hardware must be identical to the original computer except for hard disks, video cards, and network interface cards.
âÂÂThere must be enough disks to restore all of the critical system disks. A disk is considered critical if it is required for the computer to boot successfully.
âÂÂThe storage capacity of each critical disk must be greater than or equal to the corresponding original disk. Disk geometries, which may also be called disk
parameters, must be compatible.
âÂÂFloppy and CD devices cannot be external PC-card drives. Because external PC-card
devices are not supported during the GUI-mode Windows Setup phase, they cannot be used to access data, and recovery cannot be completed.
âÂÂIf a *.dr file is unavailable for the computer being restored, you can still use IDR to recover the computer, but you must first manually restore the partition information,
including utility partitions.
Hope that in your case this conditions are met.
================================
Kindly have a look at the following technote which will guide you through the IDR recovery process.

Check whether you have followed the same procedure as described in the technote.If not we request you to run the process again.
If the issue persists then revert back with exact error message and the moment at which the IDR fails.A detailed explanation of each step carried out would be helpful to diagnose the issue.
