PC hung up while attempting backup with Ghost 2003
Feb 17^th, 2007 at 6:38am

Hello everybody
I'm a newcomer in this forum !

I've tried to create an image of partition C: on a freshly installed PC with Windows 2000 from a SATA Hard disk using Ghost 2003,but differently from the other times I did the same operation from normal IDE HDs,while rebooting to start the creation of the images the PC hungs up and the only way to exit is to switch the power off.
When I power on again the PC I can't access no more to Windows, also using the installation CD.

Now ,I don't want to reinstall everithing again from the beginning.
How can I override this situation?????

Thanks
Alfredo

Sounds like you are *trapped* in the *virtual partition*! Here are some references to help you recover:

How to use GhReboot

Cannot start Windows after starting a Ghost 2003 task from Windows

How to restart the computer into Windows if a problem is encountered after running Ghost 2003

If the *automated GhReboot* does not work, check this thread on how to use the Symantec Ghost DOS command line partitioning program, *gdisk*, as to how to manually change the active partition back to your original partition:

Ghost 2003 -operating system not found

***************************************************

After recovering, you may need to address a SATA compatibility issue and/or may have to boot from a floppy disk or bootable optical disc in order to avoid the *virtual partition* function of the Windows based Ghost interface:
