Worth a try. But you might end up needing a repair install. ------Original Message------ From: Thane Sherrington Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: [H] True Image issue Sent: Oct 14, 2009 7:04 PM
I've run into this from time to time, and have been forced to use Ghost to get around it, but this time Ghost won't do the copy, so I can't go that route. Here's the issue: I've got a drive that boots, but is starting to die, so I want to copy from it (80GB) to a (160GB) - this is on a Dell Inspiron, btw. Ghost copies about 90% and then gives up, so I used TI. TI complains about bad sectors, but completes the copy, and the main partition appears to be identical to the original. The problem is, it won't boot. I've set the partition as active, but that makes no difference. Would fixmbr or fixboot work? T Sent via BlackBerry
