using Desktop 4 to move a partition image to a new partition

I just purchased a license for Desktop 4 for use on an additional computer. In addition to scheduled incremental and full backups, I want to use Desktop 4 to fix a partition problem on the computer's current drive. The computer is currently configured for dual boot and one of the OS's was installed...

Re: Recover my OS without using the Rescue CD! please read....

BCD = Boot Configuration Data. It's just a file on your system volume which contains a list of bootable volumes (which are presented as boot-time options). The BCD was introduced with Vista (and is found on Vista/2008/Win7/2008R2 OSes) as a replacement for the boot.ini text file, which had a similar...

Re: Invalid partition table - challenge for the gurus out there

OK, let's try a few things. Awkward question first: Any chance the machine is trying to boot off a USB device (e.g. that flash drive)? Any chance it is booting off the floppy drive with the RAID driver in it? Slightly less awkward question: In the BIOS, what is the first boot device. Presumably it...

Re: Reboot problem after system (C:) restore

To fix this issue: Boot back up into the Recovery Environment, go to tools -> boot configuration utility. In the entry for your Windows volume It should say "bootable" or "broken" It will most likely say broken. If it is indeed broken, then push auto repair. Then you should be...

Re: Vista restore should have been easy

You do not need to re-install Vista. However, it sound like you need to update the HAL (instructions below). It also sounds like the new RAID is not operating correctly. After updating the HAL I woud suggest checking the device drivers listed under Device Manager and updating any as needed. How to check...

Re: HIR Restore worked but not all processors are showing

Joe What did you change in the boot.ini file - can you post a copy. You should have a single Windows 2003 boot entry....with the following text added to the end of it: /KERNEL=ntkrnlmp.exe /HAL=halmacpi.dll After boot up, you can then remove text above. You made this change and got the "NTOSKRNL...

Re: restore image on a new hard drive in same computer

Sissi In addition to Shadow's advice, I'd add the following: There really is no need to create a partition or format a new drive before running a restore. The partition creation can be done in the booted SP CD. And the backup image already contains the filesystem - so there is no need to perform...

Re: Only 1 processor showing in Task Manager

Here's some fairly random suggestions. Feel free to ignore if not relevant: Crazy idea, but do you have TaskManager | View | CPU History | One Graph, All CPUs That would only show one graph, even though you had 4 processors Make sure any BIOS-related " Max CPUID Value Limit " is set to...

Re: "Windows could not start ..." after Restore

Brian's answer is by far the easiest: Just edit the boot.ini text file and remove the entry you no longer need. If, however, you feel uneasy about that, you can have Windows help you. When you boot into Windows, select Start | Run and type "msconfig" and the press <Enter> The System...
