Windows family operating systems are notorious for their excessive sensibility to hardware, especially when it turns to replacement of such a crucial device as HDD controller or motherboard - actually Windows will most likely fail to boot as a result of this operation.

With our Adaptive Restore technology you can forget about that excessive sensibility of Windows OS once and for all. Developed back in 2008, it now enables to make any Win2K system (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 and Vista/7/Server 2008) bootable on dissimilar hardware.

How It Works

Successful migration of a Win2K system to a different hardware platform involves several actions:

* Change of the Windows kernel settings according to the new configuration. We detect the given hardware profile and automatically install the appropriate Windows HAL and kernel.
* Installation of drivers for boot critical devices. We detect those without drivers and automatically try to install lacking drivers from the built-in Windows repository. If there’s no driver in the repository, we prompt the user to set a path to an additional driver repository, strongly recommending not to proceed until all drivers for the found boot critical devices are installed. In case drivers for these devices are installed, but disabled, they will be enabled.
* Installation of drivers for a PS/2 mouse and keyboard. This action will only be accomplished for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003.
* Installation of drivers for network cards. We detect those without drivers and automatically try to install lacking drivers from the built-in Windows repository. If there’s no driver in the repository, we prompt the user to set a path to an additional driver repository.
