Well I am sad to admit I have a resolution to the Continual rebooting problem. It actually was only mismatched patch levels on the source and destination. The Source was at 2K3 SPI and the Target was not. So this resolved the continual reboot problem. Unfortunately now I can log on but Active Directory is inoperable most likely because DNS is also inoperable. This may be cause for a new thread, since technically it's a different issue. Anyone know why DNS would not restore? I had a successful restore of C:\ Drive, System State, Service State, and the Utility partition.
