Raising domain functional level error: The Directory service is busy
So I cloned an old Windows server 2003 using Clonezilla.
Did a full clone.
When I restored the clone onto another machine, the computer would boot until the loading windows display.
Tried popping in a windows 7 disk to repair the mbr, etc but that didn't work.
Found out that the problem was hard drive controller type was AHCI on the restored machine whilst on the cloned machine it was IDE.
Setting the hard drive controller in the bios of the restored machine to IDE fixed the problem.
