Win 2008 Restore glitch with Windowsimagebackup

[Jay Kulsh]

This Win 2008 server totally crashed and I have Windowsimagebackup of all 
critical volumes on a remote server.

Did not have large enough portable USB disk to copy that backup and connect to 
crashed server, and could not view network while using Restore option with OS 
DVD.

So, did a quick install of OS and after network could be seen, used remote 
location to restore the backup image. However, since C: drive was in use, the 
restored image could only be put on D: drive. Made D: partition active and C: 
inactive, and now none are working.

My question: If I do the temp OS install on D: drive and then do a restore to 
C: drive from that network location, will I be able to get back the old server 
if I make C: active and D: inactive? Thanks.
