Norton Ghost Crashed the comp

Post by ayu »

Ok so here is my story.

I got an assignment in school from a teacher, the assignment was to install Norton Ghost on my school computer, backup the C:/ partition and then replace the existing C partition with the exact copy, he wanted me to learn how to use it. So i install, i press backup ...next....next..aaaand...NEXT...quite simple yeah?...not for long. It tells me to reboot and it will start making the backup in a Norton Ghost PC dos mode. So i restart AND...what happens? Disk Boot Error, i was like "wtf?". So i thought that maybe the DVD had fucked up so i changed in the BIOS to start directly from the HDD, didn't work, so i started with a Win ME start floppy and try to change the active boot partition as i thought that maybe Norton Ghost had fucked it up, didn't work. Anyway, does anyone have an bright ideas? i don't want to repair or reinstalö because i want to learn how to manually fix it for future knowledge, but if there is no other way then tell me the automatic Bill Gates Toybox way.

Thanks in advance!
