Installed Ghost on P IV 3.6 system to make image of system partition. The program crashed after a few minutes.... and an error msg. "type ghreboot to return to Windows." did so.. nada.. nothing..
System restore unaccessible..Now my "C partition" is the Norton one and made my original boot partition "G".. When I boot from the cd.. the original XP installation is an option.. but I get the msg."hal.dll corrupted or missing.. reinstall..etc" I did that extracting the original from the XP install disk... no joy.!
When I access the Ghost directory in the "new" c partition..nothing happens...get a stack overflow error after a few minutes..Fixmbr and fixboot have been no help.. System repair does NOT come up as an option when booting from the install CD..It shows all of my partitions.. even Norton's virtual one... and the menu offers DELETE partition, INSTALL XP to new one or CANCEL.
I've installed a new XP installation in a separate partition on the same HDD... but I need to recover the original installation if possible... Any ideas ?? Sorry for the long post.......newbie on the forum...Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions ...
