I booted up with a linux boot/rescue disk but saw kernel panic error and the
pc stopped. I proceeded to use DOS fdisk to set the primary partition as
active but still received the missing operating system error. i guess the
clone image created with drive image pro was no good. any good cloning
program to recommend?
