strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility
Hi
Dell 620, displays topic title message on boot, has been re-partitioned and then re-imaged
The drive is in full working order and all cables are properly connected
The image is most definitely for the 620 (incase of anyone suggesting)
I can boot into ghost and win98 boot disc's and see both partitions so i know they are right
Problem is when i have ghosted image accross onto C and then re-boot i get this message
Any ideas would be great

This is a SATA drive loading XP Pro, it worked fine with W2K until i repartitioned the drive and ghosted XP onto it. -

Also, check your boot order. Maybe you're getting hung up on something else and it's not even going to the hd. -
Lee H Member Posts: 1,135Just re-imaged but this time i slected the whole disk and not the partition, this has worked so i can just resize the partition using partition magic to have 2 partitions.
any ideas why the image would not work when ghosted to a partition as opose to entire disk
