I am using windows 2000, pro service pak 4 on partition "D" of my hardrive. I am using 98 se on the other partition C.
My old hardrive failed and I had to trash it. I got another one, and used partition magic to partition it nearly the same as the old hardrive.
I reinstalled windows 2000 on drive D, and ghosted it to protect against any any future errors, and as you can well imagine, I don t want to have to change the partition size if I ever have to ghost this new installition of 2000 .
I have a pile of ghost disks from my old hardrive that contain valuable information of previous programs.
I tried to use one of these disks, and it booted right until the last , when.just before the screen and all my icons should have appeared, it went a little crazy,
like it was caught in a loop, where the small square message screen just kept repeating itself.
I am wondering if I could just boot with 98se after I have rendered one of these disks,and have a disk program(Norton Doctor) or something like that make any necessary repairs to stop the loop. I am wondering if it is a partition table or whatever at fault?
Thanks a lot
