Re: ARMEGEDDON

Pardon me, DatabaseBen, at risk of threading stealing,

Does acronix deal with SATA RAIDarray ? or at least let one specify where to
look for Hard disk driver during boot up for imaging?

ooh, i use to use partition magic until i unfortunately discovered it was
uncompatiable with my new motherboard and it screwed up my partitions BIG
TIME>>>>>

I had to buy Acronis Disk manager to save my valuable files and my state
of
mind....

The situation is that I have the XP Pro original CD, I have a Partition
Magic
start up disk (on a Zip), but the latter doesn't get read on start (even
though I managed to put this drive first in the start sequence) and the
XP
disk also doesn't start as I get the message that I need to hit any key
to
read the CD and after I do that the message no operating system is found
comes up. This has confounded me to say the least. Is there something I
need
to do to get this thing off dead center...emphasis on
DEAD...................

by any chance, do you have Automatic recovery baclup and disk taken

the last change in HD config?
If you have, you can always resort to that recovery with orginal
install
disk and then use your ghost to restore to lates image.

But then dealing with dell Dimension, chances are you have only OEM XP
and
don't really have an install CD unless you have purchased an xp pro CD.


Good luck

may be you can find an disk recovery software to recover partition and
files, foldes but then most of them require a running OS and extra hard
drive

250 to 300GB cost only about $120 or less but still an expense in
addition
to $40 to $99 of teh recovery software. So you don't have to recover
the
data, you might as well start install all over. but if you are in need
of
teh old data, I guess you will have to spend some money unless some
experts
can tell some free solutions

MY DELL Dimension has fallen on creul times. I cannot boot it any
longer.
It
says that it cannot find the operating system. Even with the original
XP
PRO
disk it fails. I have 2 HD's and according to Norton Ghost both are
seen
but
the best I seem to be able to do thru Ghost is get to PC Dos. From
there
none
of the partitions seem readable. If there is any way to recover this
mess
I
would be eternally indebted to anyone with a suggested
fix....Thanks....
