Norton Ghost cloning?
- Thread starter mannyman
- Start date
What version of Ghost did you use?
In Version 14 and older, Norton did not really implement a good clone for the way Win7/Vista boots. Win7's bootloader requires looks for a 'bootmgr' on a disk with an exact 'signature'. If it can't find one, it faults with the 'no bootmgr' errors.
Three ways to fix it:
- Use Ghost 15. It understands windows boot manager and fixes the problem
- In Ghost 14 or earlier, click the "copy original disk signature". This method might work (sometimes it doesn't). When you are done you will have to make sure you remove the old boot drive because you can't have two drives with the same signature or Windows gets really pissed off.
- If you have your windows install disk, put the cloned disk you already made in the system, boot from the windows install disk, and select 'repair my system' rather than install. It should be able to fix the boot file (the BCD file) with the new disk signature.
Good luck!
