Okay, here is the solution for ShadowProtect HIR migration of a 32-bit Windows 2000, XP, or Server 2003 OS volume onto a disk controlled by an Adapted 1210SA SATA RAID controller.
1) Copy the contents from the attached file's Adaptec_1210SA_AARSI3X_Original_Install_Floppy_Contents directory to a 1.44MB floppy diskette. The root directory of the floppy should contain the files HRAIDSK1 and TXTSETUP.OEM, as well as a subdirectory named WIN32. The WIN32 subdirectory should contain the files AARSI3X.CAT, AARSI3X.INF, AARSI3X.SYS, ADHRAID.CAT and ADHRAID.INF. This floppy will be used when you boot the ShadowProtect recovery environment (using the F6 boot-time option with the Legacy (Windows 2003-based) Environment).
2) Copy the contents of the attached file's Adaptec_1210SA_AARSI3X_For_HIR directory to an external USB device. These files will only be used during the HIR configuration operation.
3) On the machine to which you are migrating, plug in the USB device which contains the contents of the Adaptec_1210SA_AARSI3X_For_HIR directory and power on the USB device (if it requires external power). If you skip this step, then in step 4 the Legacy environment won't see this USB disk.
4) Boot the ShadowProtect Recovery Environment CD and choose the Legacy (Server 2003-based) option on the pre-boot menu. Immediately after choosing this option you will see a prompt to hit F6 at the bottom of the screen. Hit F6. Several seconds later you will be prompted to load a storage driver from diskette. Place the diskette you made in step 1 (above) into the A: floppy drive and press 'S' to specify that you want to load drivers from the diskette. Only one driver comes up as an option for installation. Press Enter to select that driver, and then after it's loaded press Enter to continue.
5) After the recovery environment is fully booted, restore your ShadowProtect backup image file to the disk on the Adaptec 1210SA controller. During this restore operation DO NOT use HIR. We'll run HIR as a separate step after the restore because we have to make a small change after the restore but before the HIR operation.
6) On the volume that we just restored we now need to rename the \windows\inf\disk.inf (or \winnt\inf\disk.inf on Windows 2000 volumes) file to disk.inf.tmp. I discovered that the "File Browser" doesn't have a rename feature (will add this to the future feature list) but there is a way we can accomplish this task anyway. First, in case you forgot the drive letter of the newly-restored OS volume, click on the Disk Map tab and figure out the drive letter of the newly-restored volume. Then on the left task panel of the main ShadowProtect GUI, choose the "File Browser" option, which is a tool similar to File Explorer in Windows. Browse to the \windows\inf (or \winnt\inf) directory on the newly-restored volume. Locate the file named "disk" - this is the disk.inf file. Right-click on the file named "disk" and select Open. This will open disk.inf in Notepad. In Notepad, go to the File menu and select Save As, and type in the name disk.inf.tmp and hit Save. Then close Notepad and then in File Browser right-click on the file named Disk and select Delete (you may need to F5/Refresh File Browser before doing this).
7) Now we're ready to perform the HIR operation. On the left-hand task panel of the main ShadowProtect GUI, select the "HIR Configuration" option, and a dialog will come up with a list of volumes. Select the newly-restored volume and then click on the Advanced button. In the advanced options dialog you need to click on the "New" button to add the path to the directory on the USB disk that contains the files AARSI3X.INF and AARSI3X.SYS THAT YOU COPIED FROM THE DIRECTORY Adaptec_1210SA_AARSI3X_For_HIR. After adding that directory path in the HIR Advanced options dialog, close the options dialog and then in the HIR dialog click on the Start button.
8) After HIR completes you need to rename the disk.inf.tmp file back to disk.inf (on the newly-restored, newly-HIR'd volume). You can use the technique from step 6 (above) to do this.
9) Close the main ShadowProtect recovery environment GUI (this will cause the machine to reboot). Now that you're rebooting, it's often a good option to hit whatever function key your BIOS has assigned for the boot menu so that you can specify that you want to boot from your hard disk (and not the CD, floppy, or external USB disk, as you may very well have one or all of these still attached). A common support issue we see is people complaining that their machine doesn't boot after restore and they aren't realizing that they have a USB disk attached at boot time and that their BIOS is configured to try to boot a USB disk first and often these are unbootable, but it's not obvious that this is the actual cause of the problem. Most people in this situation simply jump to the conclusion that their main internal disk (the one to which they just restored) is failing to boot. Anyhow, maybe to avoid such issues just remove the CD and floppy and USB disks when you reboot.
10) After booting the OS, login and you will be promtped to install the SCSI/RAID controller and/or processor software. In the setup dialog that pops up, choose the option that allow YOU to specify the path, and then point it to the floppy which contains the contents of the directory Adaptec_1210SA_AARSI3X_Original_Install_Floppy_Contents. Do this for the installation of both the controller and/or processor setup wizards.
