Ghost lost my partition
Feb 19

, 2007 at 9:43pm
I tried to do a backup on Saturday with NG2K3 and after the computer was booted into NG the first time, NG got stuck at the blue screen.
I left the computer in that state for about an hour, figuring that perhaps it is performing a time intensive task. But NG apparently got stuck.
I rebooted and tried everything I found on the Symantec documentation website and on other websites I found but I was not able to get back into Windows.
When attempting to boot into Windows the computer just hangs after POST.
I hooked up another hard drive with windows and while Windows finds the partition that I'm trying to boot into it asks to format the partition.
I was able to recover all the critical files with Ontrack EasyRecover but I am not able to get the partition to boot.
I'm thinking of trying the FIXMBR utility in the Windows CD Recovery Console but the last time I did this I completely lost the partition, or at least was not able to connect to it in any way.
Is there anything else I can do to get this partition to boot?
Thanks in advance for any help,
chris

We prefer Ghost 2003 issues to be in the *General* forum and not the Ghost 9/10/Save & Restore forum.
You appear to be trapped in Ghost 2003's *virtual partition*--see if these references help:
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
If you have the DOS PartitionMagic boot disks, or know how to use other DOS based partitioning tools (example--
MBRWizard - The MBR utility you've been looking for!
)--they will work also.
