Re: Reimage new HD

Hi Rock,
I think it is worth a try. I do have an external HD so I have all my data plus the Norton Ghost image.
I just think I can reimage it to my new HD and it shouldn't have the defects in it.
I hope I am right?
As I said the recovery disks seem to create a lot of things going wrong.

I don't have on this install:
1- the remove hardware notice when you disconnect a external HD
2- I don't get that Winlogin in Event Viewer to see the log files
3- MS Recovery Console doesn't work.
The Chkdsk /F problem I think is because of the MFT Bitmap errors.

Hi,
I am going to have my hard drive replaced because of read/write errors in
the MFT bitmap
and because I can't run Chkdsk /F.
I have Norton Ghost 10. and made an image of my configuration.
After they put in the new HD in is it safe to re image it with my present
configuration of Windows or do I have to start
all over again?

I have a big problem with the HP Recovery disks and (I think) they are nor
being read correctly.
Every time I used them there are always three or four thing wrong with the
installation.

Try it to find out. Laying the image back down won't take long. If it
works, ok, if not then do a clean install. You should still be able to
restore the data files from the image. I don't think it will work but it's
worth a shot.

I would make sure I had redundancy in data backup. Copy essential files to
CD and/or flash drive.

Have a good day,
RScotti
