BESR 2010 Blinking Cursor after restore to new hardware Dell T110

I am restoring to new hardware from a old Dell 2600 running Windows SBS 2003 SP2 to a new Dell T110 no OS RAID1 Mirror Dell SAS 6/IR.

Recovery Options C;\ Drive
rezise drive to 150000MB
Restore MBR
Set Active for BOOT

Recovery Options D:\ Dirve
resize to 350000MB
Restore original disk signature

Also checked is restore anyware (restore to new hardware)

Restore will run without errors. I reboot the computer after restore is complete get the normal BIOS startup but when it's time to boot the OS I get nothing but a blinking cursor.

I have talked to three tiers of Symantec support (all of which had the same try this solutions but none have worked).

I have gone as far as loading a fresh install of Windows 2003 SBS SP2 on the server loading all the drivers and BESR 2010. Creating a custom SRD and running a restore from that. The only difference is that the restore wll not ask for any drivers.

Anyone with a suggestion will help I'm at the end of my rope with this one.

Thanks

Could perform the restore and resize the drives after?

Hope this helps :)
