Hello, no, you can't use Windows server 2008 R2 to repair an earlier OS version. If you need a replacement disk please call Microsoft support, that is not expensive.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello, it is not possible to repair the install of a Windows Server 2008 using a Windows Server 2008 R2 disk. Please note that Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 is not an update of Microsoft Windows Server 2008. You have to purshare / get a new DVD for Windows Server 2008. Why do you want to repair the install of your OS? BSODs? This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

hi we test a disaster and restore from symantec. And we have different server with 2008 SP2 and 2008 R2. I think we use one DVD for all. Befor you answer I mean that windows boot with R2 is in a RAM Drive and we need the DVD only to boot OS, and then restore full drive C: with original OS. thanks for answer Chris
