Summary:
Issue: Cannot boot the Windows 2008 after successful BMR recovery.
Cannot boot the Windows 2008 after successful BMR (bare metal recovery).
BMR recovery using NetWorker 8.0.x WinPE ISO successfully recovers the data but the OS cannot reboot because it is looking for
BCD (boot configuration data) in the wrong partition/volume.
Reboot of Windows 2008 after successful BMR recovery works fine when using NetWorker 8.1.1 and its corresponding WinPE ISO.
Reboot of Windows 2003 fter successful BMR recovery works fine with NetWorker 8.0.x.
NetWorker bare metal recovery (BMR) does not work.
WIndows 2008 cannot reboot after BMR with error 0xc0000225.
Cause: The root cause of the issue was not determined as customer did not want to continue troubleshooting.
Resolution: To reboot the WIndows 2008 OS successfully after BMR, use one of the following workarounds:
Workaround -1
Configure Active Partition
The error 0xc0000225 may also result due to a wrong partition selected. The instance is that a user divides
its storage device into several partitions. The BIOS must access the partition having system files on it (also
called as System Drive). While accessing a wrong partition, it would end up in this issue.
Insert Windows Installation Disk and Restart your computer
Carry out BMR steps to reach System Recovery Options box
Among several system recovery options, choose Command Prompt
To set a correct partition, type the command line DISKPART and press Enter key
In the listed partitions, determine the one to be active and type following command line
SELECT PARTITION X (Let X be your desired active partition) and press Enter
Once the partition is selected, type the command line ACTIVE and then press Enter
Type QUIT and press enter to exit and then Restart the system
Workaround -2
Rebuild Boot Configuration Data (BCD)
This workaround is also helpful, when your system is facing a spoiled Boot Configuration Data (BCD). In
such a situation, it is recommended to rebuild this component of windows through command prompt. Here
are steps:
Insert Windows Installation Disk and Restart your computer
Select Time, Language, and click on the Next button
Click on the words stating Repair your computer in the lower left corner
Identify and access your system drive (For Example, C: D: E: etc.) and click Next
In the System Recovery Options box, choose Command Prompt
In the command prompt, type the command BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD and hit Enter
