Title: Ghost 10 restore iv2i
Post by VMax on Mar 6^th, 2007 at 5:23pm

Hello,

I'm having some problems recovering my .iv2i files.
I have succesfully restored my .v2i backup ( base point.. )

But I have a problem recovering .iv2i files, the incremental ones.. I have all of them ( 001 -> 010 ) and they seem to recover fine, but they wont boot.. before the bootloader screen ( vista beta / win xp ) the cursor just keeps blinking.

I have tried fixmrb & fixboot,

I would like to restore the latest incremental file because this backups is 100-something days old..

Many thanks in forward!

Vmax,

I don't think Ghost 10 works with Vista.

Were your recovery points (.v2i and .iv2i) taken before you installed Vista? Are you dual booting the Microsoft Way?

No, the backups are taken only of the WinXP partition ( c:\ ),

they are taken with the vista bootloader on it. this works fine for my base file, but not on the incrementals.

So the .v2i image restores and boots but the .iv2i images restore but don't boot?

That's right,

and they halt before the vista bootloader..

Was Vista installed after the baseline .v2i? And before the .iv2i images? It's really weird.

Are you planning to keep the Vista beta? Would you like to go back to a single OS? WinXP?

No,

vista was installed before my .v2i,

The vista partition is empty now, i just get the bootloader because it's on my c:\ disk, i suppose?

I quite have the same problem as this post;

You need to get rid of that bootloader. Here is one page. There seems to be conflicting advice on the best way.

Do the .iv2i files pass "Verify"?
