A Win2k system of ours had to be rebuilt because of a bad stripe entry in the bad stripe table. We did a base install of win2k (however looking back realized we didnt install any sp's on our base installation of windows, and the one that was being restored had SP3). We restored the files first, and then the system objects. Upon a reboot after restoring the system objects we received inaccessible_boot_device. We repeated this process trying the base install with the same version raid driver that was in backup.
Before the reboot once the system object restore finished, I checked the event log and noticed (among other entries) that windows file protection was not allowing ipsraidn.sys to be overwritten with version 4.5.000 from backup, but was keeping the 3.0 driver that was there. 4.5 I know is what we needed. After going to a recovery console and replacing this driver with one from backup, our system finally booted. Why wasn't the file overwritten? (obviously because WFP replaced it, but tsm has to take this into account I would imagine, so what did I do wrong?)
