Recover my Computer Wizard generates error not found in KB

I am attempting to restore to dis-similar hardware. I have booted up on the 8.01 BESR SRD CD, and attempted the restore. About 6% of the way done, I get an error "ERROR E0BB0087 : Cannot create partition. Error E0BB007F: The on-disk layout of disk 1 doesn't match the OS information. "
 
Any ideas why this is, and more importantly, what I need to do to fix it so I can restore this recovery to my other server?

Use the diskpart utility from insructions below to remove any partitions or first track information before attempting your restore:
