I attempted to use Symantec's "Copy Drive" capability,
part of their GHOST 10, which uses the PowerQuest Drive
Image 7 software. Both failed the same way, in that the
copy hangs at the light blue Windows logo screen during
boot up. Obviously their copy process failed to copy the
boot record properly. If others have found GHOST 10 to
copy a complete OS and achieve a bootable copy, I'd be
interested in hearing about how you did it.
Their latest cop-out on this is:
"You can boot from the Windows XP installation disk and
press F10 or R to repair the Windows installation."
If that has a chance of fixing the problem, I'd like more
specific details on that procedure. No Repair Installation
procedure that I've seen refers to F10. Thank you.
