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...

Re: HELP !! ..... I tried to transfer ISO image to new laptop and I cant get it to boot up !!

MrDollar John is correct about the AHCI driver (MSAHCI) that pops up. It is the Microsoft storage driver. It needs to loaded if you intend to reun Windows on a PC where the BIOS is set to use AHCI. In your case, you can just change the BIOS settings as John explained. However, I believe the original...

Re: Windows 7 beta Support

Windows 7 uses a variant of BCD. If you have only Windows 7 installed, you're booting using BCD. If you have a dual boot system with Windows XP and Windows 7, then the only way you can boot into both systems is with BCD. Windows XP does not know anything about BCD. Updating the Windows XP boot.ini...

Re: Found new hardware after restore?

Thanks to both Nate and FTTester for your posts. FTTester, you are correct about the "magic button" which invokes the OS in the service partition (used to be called "Access IBM", now called "ThinkVantage" after Lenovo took over). Sorry if not telling you that made your research...
