After the restoration of an image taken on a Windows
NT,2000,XP, installed on a SCSI hard drive, the system
remains not bootable.

When giving Rembo command

SetBootablePartition(0,1);

the systems boots, normally.

    To register the (new) hard disk in the Windows registry, we
    use, for
    example Win2KRegisterHDD() Rembo Toolkit function. This
    function is
    located in the ata.rbc module of the Toolkit's SDK. As the
    name implies, it gives support only to IDE/ATA drives, not SCSI.

    I do not think that Rembo will come up with scsi.rbc
    equivalent of ata.rbc very soon... In the next version I
    will check if the system is on a SCSI-drive. If it is, I
    will _not_ call the hard disk registry functions for
    Windows.

    This is not a big deal. We use the functions for the
    automated installations. If the hard disk registry settings
    functions are not used, the worst that can happen is that
    you have to reboot the system after the reinstallation.

    This may cause some problems on the Win2K servers, but I
    cannot see any way out of it for the time being.
