    RE: Emergency ! Need help with Server Restore

    Hi Brandan,

    Create the same size partitions you had before the server was wiped. Run the
    first SBS install CD. Do not continue with the SBS setup once Windows Server
    2003 is installed. Bring Windows Server 2003 up to Service Pack level it was
    before the wipe (should be SP2 if you've kept it up to date). Now run the
    restore wizard using your last backup and you should be good to go.

    Regards Colin.
