More details needed in order to help you ....

  1. What version of Windows?
  2. What version of ESX or Hyper-V are you using?
  3. What is the exact error (a screenshot would help)?
  4. Which partitions exactly did you backup/restore?

ESX 5.5 is not supported with BESR 2010: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH137684.

Only drive C? Is the original server still available? If yes, can you check to see if it has a system reserved partition? If it does, you MUST back this up and restore it otherwise the restored server won't boot.

What about my earlier comment?
