Hard Disk Corrupted Message

Symptom

When performing disaster recovery on a Windows 2003 machine. I booted from the Windows CD and pressed F2. After the system initialized, I received an error message saying that my hard disk may be corrupted and the ASR process failed. What can I do?

Solution

This problem can happen during the disaster recovery process on Windows XP and Windows 2003, including OBDR, due to a Windows ASR problem. To work around this problem, clean the hard disks with a bootable DOS disk and use the FDisk utility, or boot from a normal Windows installation CD and remove all the partitions manually. After the hard disks are cleaned, restart the disaster recovery process.
