Symantec Ghost Image Restore

by Kevin
(Sacramento, CA)

First off great site!

Second, I have a issue with Ghost. Im trying to restore an image and I go through your steps and when Im asked to "Reset Computer", I take out my external HD and bootable CD but when I restart I get the "Windows did not successfully start..." I choose "Start Windows Normally" and it freezes. Ive tried to start in safe mode and others without success. I checked the image on ghost and it says its fine, not sure what to do. This is my first time using Ghost.

Thanks
Kevin

by: Support

Hello Kevin,

Before using the steps below do you have a bootable DOS disk/cd?

If you try this:

From DOS use the FDISK program with these paramaters: FDISK.COM /MBR

Now the bad news: Your partiton has a virus that affects the MBR section (Master Boot Record).

Then try the ghost image again,

If you are still having problems getting the image to start try this:

When I have this problem one way to resovle it is to remove the partition and then recreate it.

Now this may lead to another problem:

That is when you remove the first partition then the partition table may get skewed, by that the remaining partitons move up a drive letter.

Your boot drive is the first partition and is called the C: drive, if you have anymore partitions then they would move from D or E to C or D.

So back up the data on those partitions before deleting the C: partition because you may have to remove all the partitions to get them to realign.

Hope this helps...
