One of the following problems may occur with your computer:



  • Hardware failure
  • Software failure
  • Computer theft
  • Natural disaster
  • User error
To recover from one of these problems, you can restore the Microsoft Windows operating system from a Symantec backup. You can restore a system state backup to the same physical computer  or to a different physical computer that has the different hardware like  model, and configuration (differential hardware). 

Steps (This is way i did and it is 100% working)


  1.  Install Symantec  System Recovery 2013 to the server.(Get torrent from here)
  2. Download Symantec custom recovery disk from the internet(Custom recovery Disk (I'm not sure 100% but you can download from Symantec site for free of charge )
  3. In system recovery software go to  task  - > create  system recovery disk browse the downloaded recovery disk  and write it to a DVD
  4. Create a system backup from  Symantec System Recovery.(Please fallow the procedure of backing up data) 
  5. Write Symantec ghost to a CD and boot new machine from the Symantec ghost. (Get ghost from here)
  6. Browse system backup from the ghost and wait till it ask the recovery disk(if not ignore this step) 
  7. Insert the recovery disk which was created before by Symantec system recovery (if not ignore this step as well) 
  8. After successfully restored, restart the system.
  9. If the boot loader is missing repair it from the windows 7 DVD
Now save your JOBs :)
